Joe Wocoski Review - Periodic Haiku

MANY, MANY THANKS!  Thank you so much Joe for this amazing review!! It's made my week :)

"OMG LMAO. If Douglass Addams was still alive, he'd fill his pants bent over laughing.

If you remember anything about the Periodic Table from your school misadventures in Chemistry Class, then these Haiku/Senryu poems will tickle your funny bone and produce a wide grin of knowing or an outright belly-laugh.

Jim Bates has outdone himself by applying the Senryu poetry form to the Periodic Table. Jim made the elements come alive with quarky personality traits. He has definitely given each element a different attitude based on the element's characteristics. I love the double intender wordplay of each Senryu poem.

Whether you have a twisted sense of humor like me or not, this book of Haiku/Senryu will bring laughter to your heart when you need a good laugh, and an idea for a quick comeback line. LMAO"
