No, they're not written in Japanese, but they are based on a Japanese style. They are called Haiku and Tanka, Haiku and three-line seventeen-syllable poem, Tanka a five-line thirty-one syllable poem. Here they are!
Haiku...
FLOWER
Silken petals curl
Framing the crumbly middle
In vibrant colors
SUMMER DAY
Parched, yellowing grass
Merciless, blistering sun
Warm, sun-baked pavement
Tanka...
TWILIGHT
The silver sliver
Comes to a rest behind the hills
The suns' heat fading
Leaving the dark velvet grass
Bathed in a blue, dusky glow
