"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!!"

...shows me his screenplay on his laptop
his first love is language-unadorned,free flowing
he
edits my poem to the bare bone-sparkle!shine!
he
on the line /shares stories we have not heard before-
O
Confessionals!Sexton,Plath,Colette,Wolfe-
your
diaries mine daily domestic doings/miniature tragedies
do
not walk into the waves with stones in your pockets!
do
not place your head in a gas oven!Never ending epiphanies
call
from Trough of Despond to dalliances with connectivenests!
Birds
of a feather seek plumed companies/fly !o winged wonders!
Do
not leave your only holy skin as if butterfly cocoon
Winged
ones in a parking meter sky-you know why you fly!
Spirit
sings between your lines-the one out of step leads us
Future
means tomorrow-and we need all of all of us
DO
NOT LEAVE!( until the very end of the unfinished...
