\nHe lives in his farm house by the hills, his
\nquiet life of contentment, seeking, creating,\u00a0
\ndiscovering; Oh he\u2019s a scientist, and\u00a0
\nhe grafts his poem trees; Beautiful plumes do\u00a0
\nthey grow for flowers, which fly out eastward
\nevery morning; Well now he does, the sweet
\nfruit of these: eat poems to live? Silencing
\nthose who asked him once; Oh and some of his\u00a0
\nplants can talk: beyond our hearing, ultrasound.\u00a0
\nDon\u2019t we carry\u00a0venoms of hatred in
\nmetal tubes crossing our hearts, conveying
\ndarkness\u00a0across seas? These poem trees, talking,
\ncan\u00a0see through. And tell, when some leaks, causing\u00a0
\nfires, and deaths in a school or train station.\u00a0
\nQuiet life of contentment, seeking, creating,
\ndiscovering; Living in his farm house\u00a0
\nby the hills. Find his work at http:\/\/dreamtube.stream<\/a>

\nNotes: Dream resume is a surrealist technique where the protagonist\u2019s ‘achievements’ in the lucid-reality world of dreams are revealed, mixing elements of the real with the surreal. The word construction ‘poem trees’ is due to Sheri Lynn Pritchett, @poemtrees

\nEducated in India and England, Prabhu Iyer writes contemporary rhythm poetry. He counts the classical Romantics and Mystics among his influences. Among modern poets Neruda and Tagore are his favourites for their haunting and inspirational lyrical verse. Prabhu has also explored the meaning of modern art movements such as surrealism and cubism and their role in anchoring the society through his art-poetry. Currently he is based out of Chennai, India, where he has a day job as an academic scientist.
\n 
\nIn 2012 Prabhu collected over 50 of his poems and self-published them on Amazon Kindle:http:\/\/amzn.com\/e\/B008F8M0JS <\/a> More recently, his 2014 entry made it to the long list from among over 5000 entrants to the annual international poetry contest conducted by the UK-based publishing house, Erbacce Press. Some of Prabhu’s poems are at http:\/\/hellopoetry.com\/-prabhu-iyer\/. His major current projects include a further volume of poetry, his first fictional novella and a planned series of translations of lyrics from Indian film music.
