It is my new book with senryū poems , that I started doing recently. Thank you for your attention!

This MEDLEY consists of a TEMPOEM, a LIMERICK, a SENRYU, an ACROSTIC and a CINQUAIN. Because of my love for rhyme I decided to compile this collection of different forms on the same theme. I hope you will enjoy these original, unusual poems.
