Obra composta de poemas/poesias, em literatura de cordel sobre diversos temas. O autor publicou em 1983 em edição autoral, o POEMEUS I, com poemas livres. Agora com esse livro exclusivamente em Literatura de Cordel faz homenagem ao Nordeste e à literatura Brasileira no momento em que o cordel se tornou Patrimônio Cultural e Imaterial do Brasil.
Utilizando o cordel numa linguagem clara e objetiva, este livro aborda didática e comparativamente, como num passeio, as épocas e paisagens da cidade do Rio de Janeiro.
