Syntatic Palindrome Poems

[jewpinthethird]

And, another poem I a made in the same style on a whim last night.

Tea time talking: boys, and shopping,
but what of life? There and then,
here but when? When but here?
Then. And there. Life of what?, but
shopping, and boys. Talking, time, tea.

Criticism is welcome. Also, does anyone know what these kind of poems are actually called?

They are still palindromes.

PS: I like the first one, second one not so much. I can't put my finger on why, perhaps I just don't think boys and shopping go together.

They aren't palindromes, the letters in reverse would make a jumble.

In any case, they're kind of cool, but they sound a little redundant because backwards they mean nearly the same thing as forwards every time.

On second read, the tea one is awesome. Very suitable to the message, too.

I liked the second one a lot more. I really thought that the tea -> life part was nice.
