The cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world. It can run at speeds up to 70 miles per hour (113 kilometers per hour) for short distances.

I call these square poems because they have the same number of syllables per line as there are lines in the poem. For example, a four-line poem would have four syllables per line, and a six-line poem would have six syllables per line.

This poem has seven lines, so it has seven syllables per line.

Square poems do not have to rhyme, and they do not have to be acrostics.
