Dream of Me As Richard Brautigan, the Hat Howls

In the digitimes of trout streams full of numbers, I’m the dark echo of a moon-ringing splash-machine named 567-3389, my old phone number, that crazy pet of howling crisis I’m nursing now with my tender planted hands and my tender planted ears full of dark echo and soil. Sure, my life now is an echo of singing numbers transformed by darkness into emptiness dreaming of rhymes. Please, dream of me as Richard Brautigan, howls a dark empty hat in a dark empty room suffers homesickness of a poet. This lonely hat, moon in black, remote like tomb, is in love with fairytales and fishing. It has a silver trout shadow and all! [Christos Tsanakas, Athens/Greece/June 2016]

Christos Tsanakas, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Many thanks for your kind interest on my poetry, which usually speaks Greek and rarer your international stream of consciousness/subconsciousness - sometime, I will post a poem written in English using only international Greek words - a game, as everything...

Thank you very much for your warm welcome not. I am a music-critic/collector of absurdities, non following my economical-law studies, ex-director of scientific magazines like Focus and GEO, radio-producer (ERA3) and author/poet.Nowadays, I 'm trying to get a living in a Greece ugly wounded by Crisis, feeling guilty that I'm doing better as an artist than as a clockwork man of profit. Usually, I take pictures of mute secrets. - Christos.
