"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!!"

solitary seagulls riding wind and wave
hang in the sky like UFOs.Goat -pecking beaches
patrolling
eternity like gray uniformed guards
they
meet sky in clouds.Rise when wind lifts wings
awkward
CAW!ing sawing the sky sounds
You
walked that beach-zipped up /well-jacketed
footsteps
slopping behind you like sand castle tides
Surfers
in wetsuits defied wet weathers/seeking waves
to
take them to places they might return some day
If
cold winds were kinder,less wild and violent
you
might sit and watch the movie of this ocean
as
it bellies up detritus over tides.Memory Beach.
