This month we’ll try a Japanese poetry form; dodoitsu. It is non-rhyming, with a humorous twist.Dodoitsu has four lines: 7 syllables, 7 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables. Please write about harvest or nature.

Waiting for the cold season
Woolen woolies all ready
Stash of crunchy nuts ready
The temp is still warm 😜

We are still waiting for some cold here. Usually, we get some cold weather in November, not really cold but colder than just cool.

It has, and was almost warm yesterday, but today dawned foggy and cold. So you’re right.
