"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!!"

YEAR OF THE SNAKE
Wealth,wisdom,charm,romance,power,intuition?
Manipulative,ruthless,demanding?Chinese
embrace
all
aspects of this flowing energy source.Open to ideas
like
water-flexible,fluid.Cool skin containing fire,
serpentine
strength a truth to be embraced or avoided?
Water
snakes slip surfaces,powerful and potent.
Land
snakes curl circles ,warning before biting.
Air
snakes eddy currents convection swirl
Hidden
are the ways of strength-
surprising
all who cross your path.
Wisdom
to avoid or seek?Snake-handling religions
kiss
that possibility!Moses' rod transformed into a serpent.
We
have a year to cycle round one sun,considering
which
to avoid/who to embrace...
