Linda Alice Fowler Poet Rhyme

I Saw It

“I saw it! I saw it!”, the groundhog announced.
“My shadow – it grew and it flounced!
Run! Hide! Save yourself and those you love
and leave the cold to the ground above!
Six more weeks of huddling and cuddling.
Here’s to the wonderful warmth of snuggling!"

Michael Tor February 4, 2023 at 6:57 PM Such a wonderful take on Groundhog day. Love the theme. Thanks for sharing Linda... Linda Alice Fowler February 5, 2023 at 5:56 AM Thank you dear Michael. :)

Miranda Hawley February 4, 2023 at 5:32 AM I saw my shadow too and thought to myself that if I see my shadow then the groundhog did too. Momma would always say that shadow or not there is 6 more weeks of winter, LITERALLY or at least with the calander time. Linda Alice Fowler February 4, 2023 at 7:05 AM I agree with your mom Miranda. Seems our winter in Texas doesn't get well-started until February. Thanks for stopping by and commenting :)

Victor Buhagiar February 3, 2023 at 9:58 AM Great personification, dear Linda. The cold is terrible now, so inside her nook, all is warm. Linda Alice Fowler February 3, 2023 at 10:42 AM Yes, stay inside where it's warm! :)

Tom Cunningham February 2, 2023 at 11:54 PM Had never heard of him until I saw the movie Groundhog Day. Stay warm Linda, spring is on the way. Tom Linda Alice Fowler February 3, 2023 at 10:42 AM Ha Tom. He has many names in the States, but is typically a groundhog (or other friendly rodent). I think he's Fred la marmotte in Canada. GD is a funny movie! :)
