Tanka
Flower on the street
by the cars. Its name I don’t
know. It needs water
like this poem that found a crack
to creep through my mind’s barren street.
Happy solitude.
Waterfall of dreams crashing
upon my heart's gates.

About Vassilis Comporozos, GR
Hi, my
name is Vassilis Comporozos. I' m from
Greece. An EFL teacher and translator, I also love
reading and writing (mostly poetry) . I have
published three poetry collections in Greek so far
and taken part in three poetry anthologies as well.
I have won some poetry prizes. I have had poems
published in some Greek literary magazines and in
some Greek and English websites (www.poemhunter.com
and www.allpoetry.com), too . I can speak Italian
and love Latin too. I have also written and put on
stage with my students, some verse (humorous, I
hope!) fairy tales. I adore English which I find the
ideal vehicle for one of my new passions, haikus and
tankas. My other passion now is Middle English
literature.
This is
Vassilis Comporozos' first appearance in
Sketchbook.
