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 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!!" (The wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)

IF LOVE IS FOOD

start with a meal for one-a solo serve-

begin with what you love rather than who-

plants,pets,places-proceeding to people

only when your own love has watered them to life

Begin slowly.You were loved in to this life-

in the Great Chain of Being,we are all linked

One Day For Love is never enough!Red roses and chocolates poor food!

Nourishment begins with preparation for a meal that sustains over time

A banquet!A buffet! A brilliant multi-course sustainable enterprise

vegan or vegetarian in variety,valued voraciously!No dull horsemeat dilution!

If food be love-plant seeds in the crops of desire

May your harvests grow ever higher!
