This book contains a veritable poetpourri (sic) of variegated verses: storied ballads, rhymes to paint a scene, love poetry, poems of the supernatural, verses both funny and quirky, poems of nostalgia and memory, emotional outbursts and dreams both good and bad. There are haiku, tanka and villanelles. There's even a saga about a crisp factory. Dip in anytime and find a poem to match your mood.
