Um...I don't really know how to do this, so here it goes.
Japanese poem are usually one stanze with 3 lines and syllables of 5,7,5.
If you don't know what I mean, here is an example:

A warm summer breeze,
The birds twirping and tweeting,
And the flowers bloom.

See how the first and last line has 5 syllables? and the middle line has 7 syllanbles. That is how Japanese poems are. If you'd like me to write more Japanese (version) Poems, please do not hesistate to ask or if you need help.

Here is another thing: Japanese Basics.

Hello: ko-ne-chee-wa (konichiwa)
goodbye: bay-bay (baibai)
how are you: gen-ke dei-su-wa (genki desu wa)
thank you: a-rhi-ga-toe (arigatou)

The style of poem you are referring to is called a Haiku. And that is not how the Japanese language is pronounced. Get a teacher and have them help you better your pronunciation. This is not how you want your Japanese to sound
