Groundhog Day 2026

a somewhat cynical poem

If the Groundhog

Can see

Its five-o-clock

Shadow

By half-past-three

Then the bluebird

Of happiness

Will crap

Snow on thee

Till half-of-March

Is history

A very interesting yet odd poem! I do like your mix of mythological elements in it. Its confusing but in a good way!

Thank you. I never know where my humor is going to take me. ~Jim

This is confusing in the best possible way. I love the more cynical tone mixed with the mythology of it all. Kind of gives it a Grimm fairy tale vibe.

Thanks. I tend to look at myths as cleaned up horror-stories for the most part. ~Jim
