So much time to spare
But you're cemented by despair
Reliving dark days
Like some groundhog misery,
Stuck till you change your story

January’s start. . .
I hibernate in my cave
with bare thoughts
January’s end. . .
may February’s groundhog
see its shadow

When Chucky Groundhog comes above,
He's looking for a lady love.
If he sees shadow,
It is spring's deathblow.
For six long weeks, winter won't move.

Have you ever seen a cumquat
It wakes up every Feb 2nd it's a must
Groundhog is it's other name
Knows if weather's same
Or four more weeks of winter discust

Walks through the back yard
it is looking for some friends
so they can play cards.

To kiss my babe I looked quite ahead,
But circled the wrong day with bright red--
Valentine's, I had reckoned,
Fell in Feb on the second
So I kissed an old groundhog instead.

All weathermen cried, "This just isn't fair,"
When groundhog refused to exit his lair
Because he had heard,
Up here is absurd
And face this weird world, he's too scared to dare.

February second we gather round
To watch the groundhog come out of the ground
The weather man we ignore
But the groundhog we implore
To predict an early spring may be found

There once was a groundhog named Phil
Who completly against his own will
Was pulled from the ground
And told, Phil, look around
Is the cold going to be with us still

The groundhog really doesn't seek his shadow.
He's peering out to find his Lady Love.
If she appears, he'll woo her to his burrow
And we can deal with winter here above.

Light Verse
At dusk they arise
Confused at the colour of the sky
People of the night
With no understanding of what is right
Night games is what they play
Reliving life like groundhog day

Punxsutawney Phil
sees his shadow in February
and says six more weeks of winter.
That same day the first moth
of spring lands on my storm door
and says, “Wrong, Phil. I’m here.”

Lost balloons
Sunflowers blooms
Groundhog says spring is long
Iris
Daisies and dandelions florist
Sagebrush and Timber weeds
In the heated desert
Bursted burnt balloon

Sun
sunshine
in the morning
warms my inner soul
Melting the ice and snow
could it be that spring is near
will the groundhog see his shadow
and scurry back deep inside his den?
I hope you do not Punxsutawney Phil

Compression ingestion
The world to implode
The numbers decreasing
—resistance explodes
From diamond to carbon
Wheels spin in reverse
The groundhog, the treadmill
—millennium’s curse

first middle West Feb.
6 more weeks of winter's host;
groundhog has no choice;
~
what about winter?
an impatient groundhog prowls;
laughs, more Wintertime!

the dog and the groundhog
a battle over nothing
but wish of territory
as both have their boundaries
the geese interested in the barking
float to shore and witness
a day in the country
me sleeping with an eye open
witness the silliness

Cat shot out - got under my feet
Knocked my sore toe, nearly did weep.
Obscenities shouted through sharp, throbbing pain
Now I am back to limping again.
Groundhog day played back its game
Why am I so unlucky? hmmm. Amen.

Couplet
Thresholds curl into entrances
where damp crows circle.
I can see through the hedge
where the wind is barelegged.
A groundhog carries sparrow bones
from the bare shelves of dawn.
Halloween will be late this year
the dead are still dying.

“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!"

Juggernaut winds howling south;
Arctic colds, chill, in their mouths.
No respite through winter days
Unless north creep sunshine’s rays.
And the groundhog comes too late
Relegating to its fate
Year’s first month a gray estate.

Acrostic
Flakes sparkle, a golden sun emerges;
shadows chase children 'round forts of snow.
The groundhog appears holding his scepter.
"Don't store away those sleds just yet";
warm jackets will reign for six more weeks.
Snow plays its card – spades high.
