Though only two of his pieces (both love songs) survive, his poetry is characterised by Francoprovençalisms.
Peire's earlier poem, Mei oill an gran manentia, was written as the troubadour prepared to depart from Syria, where he had been staying.
He left behind a beloved domna (lady), whom he celebrated in the poem En abril, quant vei verdejar upon his arrival in the Orient.
It was addressed, however, not to his lady herself, but to Guillelm Longa-Espia, that is, William of Montferrat, Count of Jaffa and Ascalon.
Peire claims in the second tornada of this poem to have written it while in the service of Filippe de Monreal, who is probably Philip of Milly, a Crusader baron known to have held the castle of Montréal for a time.
