The grass was soft under their feet.
The clearing was surrounded by trees.
The sunlight shining down was bright and hot.
The only breeze came from their quick movements.
The clothes she wore were wet and clingy with sweat.
The muscles in her legs strained as she flipped over his head.
The hair that passed close to her face when he spun smelled wonderful.
The strike that she dodged was free of chackra, because he had used it all long ago.
The fist that she threw at him was empty, because she had run out of weapons, as well.
Peace and joy filled her as they danced.

Easier said than done!!! I didn't
have much creativity today to begin with, so this is all I could come
up with. Poetry?! Please don't kill me! cringes
Oh! I was also attempting to write using things other than the characters as the subjects of sentences. That, at least, I think I succeeded in. It's harder than you'd think!
This poem had no template.
Freestyle. I didn't even intend to write poetry at all. Have I told you the only thing I'm worse at than stories is poetry? sweatdrops
This was supposed to be NejixTenten in case you were wondering. Just turns out poetry works better without using names.
Thank you very much for reading. Advice on how to employ these techniques better would be greatly appreciated!
