Another Groundhog Day

Take that long walk along the creek where the ducks chose to hide won't be long now., let it flow leavin' nothing to decide. Give back those days in mist, a sun's last ray lost to wind and left to time soft voice traveled on my mind tomorrow's just another groundhog day. Lookin out wide window at a frosted place fingers unwound from soft bluegrey lace song swimmin in your brain.. does it matter or did it ever though you still see a lovely face.. Wonder now, was there anything left to say look down and remember that smiling face of December and tomorrow's just another groundhog day.

Wistful evocative images that captivate the imagination. The ‘groundhog’ refrain is very effective.Well done! Raven.

Just another groundhog day, just another day to measure the wait for spring, so poignant and melancholy of the things lost, yet still searching~

I like this one. Great up to the minute topic and great idea in which to bring about attention to the subject. Well, what did the groundhog say? I think I missed it. Your visit to my page, you uplift me when you drop by. Sara

Hello Quote The Raven, Ground Hog Day a ceremony held in Wiarton, in the park. Many people come from all over to see. If the ground hog's shadow will appear. To find out if there will be an early spring. I do not believe this to be true. Mother nature decides if Spring is early or not. Enjoy your day my friend.
