THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem


Rob Ayling writes: 

"Thom the World poet, is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearences with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not? why not indeed!!" (The wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)

CHANGING OF THE SEASONS


You will grow as cold as winter
when warmth of sun will leave your skin
and moons will enter in your eyes
when stars depart-falling,falling
until light extinguishes
and shadows gather to reclaim you
Perhaps you are in young Spring step-
Green ,Golden,Glorious
Summer strong,Light on waves
splashing in to sand and shore
with all this illuminated panoply
shimmering energetically/electrically
It will leave(orbits call)-into darkness
with a Fall as prelude to the deep
All your movements will be slower Zen
and your Light will leave
you thin bone hollow flute
for old crone moons to sing winds through you.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
