Not at all. Taken as a compliment. How boring it would be if we were all "normal".

Mamya, Beautiful verse. Reminds me of an old girl friend I once had - especially the "cold shoulder" bit.

Cold feet are worse especially on the small of your back, but if I could turn back the pages in my life, I would have those back in a blink of an eye.

Mamya,

Mamya
As the Worshipful Grand Mistress of the Ancient Order of Tricoteuses,I am surprised at you not thinking to run up a pair of bedsocks.

wow, Mamya,
yet again you stop the rot and bring some class to the table.

is there a name for that type of poem?
where the 2nd and 4th line become the 1st and 3rd line in the next verse?

i will chop off a foot and mail it to you,you can knit me a sock for the other?

Not totally sure on the verse form, but odd socks are indeed my speciality. I can turn a fine heel you know.

Pantoum
This is a verse form of Malay origin written in interlocked eight syllable quatrains (4 lines) usually rhyming a-b-a-b in which the second and fourth lines of each stanza become the first and third lines of the next. The form is completed with the unrepeated first and third lines of the first stanza reversed as the second and fourth lines of the last. Thus, the poem begins and ends with the same line.

To work, a pantoum may only have two rhyme schemes (i.e. a and b) and must have an odd number of stanzas

thanks for that Mamya.
