This is a specific type of poetry that reads the same way sideways and up-and-down. That's why it's a little funny.
If anyone can tell me what type of poetry this is, please do, cuz I forgot.
(It was a school assignment.)Edit: Should I space things out so it's easier to read vertically? Cuz.....people keep telling me the grammar is wrong...... XP

Believe it or not, this first one started out about my dog. Then it....morphed. Yeah, I don't know.
O how I love this boy
how much I long to see
I, I in his strong arms
love long his joy for me
this to, strong for my heart
boy see arms, me heart cries

Dogs are my life. Naturally, I wrote about them.
The joy of owning a dog
joy boundless like the blue sea
of like a warm summer wind
owning the warm sloppy wet tongue
a blue summer, wet with seaspray
dog, sea, wind, tongue, seaspray, joy
Spoiler
I had a lot of time on my hands that day.
How much do I love you?
Much more than you can know.
Do then, tell me much more
I, you, me, we are one
love can, much are we together
you know more, one, together forever
Spoiler
I've never been certain about the future.
What things do my future hold?
Things that are unknown to me
do, are things set in stone?
My unknown, set before my heart
future to in my eyes hold
hold me stone heart, hold tight

This is actually my favorite, I think. Except for the last two lines. Hey, you try writing one of these!
Why should I write a poem?
Should I follow the lover's trend?
I follow the stars to death, write the stars in my eyes,
a lover's to my aching heart,
poem, trend, death, eyes, heart, cry
Spoiler
I have doubts.
How can I know what's real?
Can I ask some wise man?
I ask how do I know
know some do help me now
what's wise I, me, we, you?
Real man, know now you are
=========
Yeah, it gets confusing.
