I couldn't think of any better place to post this... But this has really been bugging me. Can anybody tell me what it's called when there's a poem written that's like, 3 poems in one... Two columns and the poem read one line at a time is one poem, one column alone is another poem and so is the other column... Can anybody tell me what this is called, and if possible show me an example because I know I have seen it, but I can't find any examples of it anywhere. Thanks a ton!

LOL @ Ron.

Cody...I do konw what you're talking about,
and have seen examples of that myself.
I do not, however, know what it is called,
or even if it has an actual 'name', nor do
I remember which poems were the examples that
I saw, so I don't have anything to show you.
Sorry...I know that's not much help, but if
I do come across an example, I'll certainly
bring it here for you.

Here's a link to one of Allen Riverwood's poems...I think it's what you were talking about. He just called it a double poem.
