"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 appearances 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!!"

CAT MEN
Our capacity to relax
Our
ease in fur
Our
moon addictions
Our
dislike of watersplashing
Our
occasional screech
Our
claws.
Our
feral,gypsy nature
Our
individuality
Our
psychic spirituality
Our
grooming
We
do not need to relate
to
other cats-or humans
We
will let them pretend to "own"us
Come
one cruelty-find us gone
Invisible
as cat love
We
eat what is served
yet
have preferences
Treat
us carefully
Find
us purring!
