All these mentioned poetry works are part of the so-called poetic tales, as identified by the author, which also include "Lendas", "Campeões", "Músicas", "Turismo", "Palavras", "Flores", "27 Flores", "Todas as Flores" and seven more from the "Flores" universe, where this element appears in all plots, for example, "A ceia do bispo e outros contos poéticos". The writing has also been transformed into poetic narratives, such as "Beatriz" (inspired by the character from Dante Alighieri's "A Divina Comédia"), "Paz", "O Viajante", "O Sino", "A Sereia" and "O Mapa", the latter with 3016 verses. In poetry, there are also "Refrões", "Sonetos", "Trovas" and four volumes of "Canções".
