Winter or summer?

This is from a groundhogs point of view

A groundhog pokes his head out and hears a sound

Is it a bird?

Is it a bee?

Perhaps its a growing seed?

He looks around about him

Thinking to himself oh it must only be me

Glancing at May's soft falling snow

He realizes he already knows what he needs to know

Turning around he goes to his den

He settles in for a sleepy day and waits

For the snow to go away

Being a lifetime Californian, it's hard to imagine snow in May! We barely notice groundhog day, as we're already in the 80*s most times in February around here. That's why it's a special pleasure to read your poem & see things from a different slant. I love the way you've personified Mr. Groundhog & conveyed his POV: "He realizes he already knows what he needs to know" (love this!) Very subtle & affectionate in tone.
