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!"

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.

I agree with your mom Miranda. Seems our winter in Texas doesn't get well-started until February. Thanks for stopping by and commenting :)

Great personification, dear Linda. The cold is terrible now, so inside her nook, all is warm.

Had never heard of him until I saw the movie Groundhog Day. Stay warm Linda, spring is on the way. Tom

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! :)

Thank you Charlie. I think Punxsutawney Phil is an adorable little critter that would like to just as well be left alone. :) Love your poetry. Keep it up my friend! hugs, Linda
