These are two separate poems, if read from top to bottom, but can be read as
one poem, when read from left to right. Does anybody know what this type
of poetry is called ?

Double Love


A son and daughter are all mine           A little lass and little lad
a girl so gay, really divine              naughty at times, but never bad
my handsome boy, a vagebond               the cutest two you’ve ever seen
a true brother and sister bond            no-one ever comes in between
Although they fight and shed a tear       I love ‘em dearly from the heart
for their tie I will never fear           nothing can break this love apart
there a smile ! reunited love             a hug so tight and then a kiss
their way home they’ll find like a dove   and their love I need never miss

Munda,
First a wonderful poem
Second I've tried it before
but don't know if it has a name.
I finally got to the point of seven different reads.
Up and down, backward and forward.
Top to bottom, bottom to top.
First line third line
second line forth line.
and then the oposite.
First line forth line
third line second line.
And on and on. It's not that it can't be done but for me it lost its fun.
as I said you have a wonderful poem
and experimentation can be fun.

Munda ...
I know ... ASK NAN ... she knows I'll bet!
If it doesn't have a name, it should.

I say let's call it a ~Shufflette~
because it looks like shuffling a deck of cards to me.

Whatever it is ... it's lovely.
I just may have to try one of these
one night when the muse wants to
burn the midnight oil.

Thank you for this intriguing scheme.

I think it's called "Double Delight"
That's what I got from it, anyway
Lovely poem(s)

I'd call it amazing Munda! Wow, did I love this!

 A soul that writes from the heart and shares it, truly gives a gift extraordinaire!
