American Sentences: They are haiku-length poems that Allen Ginsburg suggested be limited to 17 syllables, like haiku in Japanese and like the Heart Sutra in Buddhism. The following two sentences are such American Sentences of 17 syllables.
Arresting the wicked man was made difficult by his rhythmic voice.
Her arresting traits and bold, rhythmic stutter made me think wicked thoughts.

You are good at these. I started playing with another prompt, OneWord. The site gives you a word - and 60 seconds to write something. Whoosh. You should try it.
Yeah, nicely done, tightly!
Very good, I like these better then then three sentences of Haiku. I read once that in Japanese it is written in one sentence
Both good ones!
