Japanese Poems – The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

Haikus:

Writing on a desk
Not good to get your work out
But a great note space

Refrigerators
I love more than all else
Because they have food

Writing in awksents
Choose the right words. Remember
Pronunciation

This is a haiku
It does not have to make sense
Abracadabra

Illuminati
An eye and a triangle
Has godlike status

Tanka:

Creativity
Autobiographical
Vocabulary
Editorializing
Oversimplification

The tanka format
It goes 57577
Longer than haiku
More room to play around with
But lots of words are scary

Texting makes good writes
Contrary to pop belief
If kids threw many balls
All would be great at baseball
Execution trumps technique
