Winter:
It's cold. Bitter-bone-cold.
Better bundle up—brrr.
Old bones can't take the cold.
All bundled up—brrr, brrr.
Summer:
It's hot. Sticky-hot hot.
Fan going round—whirr, whirr.
Beer's chilling, but I'm hot.
Fan spinning round—whirr, whirr.
NaPoWriMo22 Day 29 -- Through murisopsis's poetry scavenger hunt, I was introduced to the bob and wheel and blues stanzas forms. Here I've combined them. Peace to your 
!
P.S. I'll be going away for the weekend and may not get around to addressing comments until Monday. Also, I want to share a piece of good news: I learned yesterday that a sijo I submitted to the 2022 Sejong Writing Competition placed second. Yippee! It comes with a generous prize of $750. It was last April that one of Maureen Thorson's napowrimo.net prompts was to write a sijo. She included a link to the Sejong Cultural Society's guide to writing sijos, and that's how I learned of the competition. The Society also sponsors an international sijo competition in late summer that offers cash prizes. If you have any interest in the sijo form, I encourage you to enter one of these competitions. I'll share my sijo once the winning entries have been posted to the Society's website.
