"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!!"

WEARING MY ART ON MY SLEEVE
i carry my heart in my hands
when
we meet-we exchange glances
lances
of words
Village
Hall-full
of
emotional exchanges
One
degree of separation
Drink
Egyptian sweat!
You
are not me
in
another skin
Mirror
to a mirror stand
echoing
infinities
Pain
is part of the learning
I
dropped in.
Bare
foot doctors
dispensing
medicinal words
Where
it hurts most
is
the healing
Cutting
out parts of art
that
are not of huge heart
Editing
emotions
to
fit this moment
Knitting
the fabric
of
us together
"Better"begins
with"good"
"Best"is
non-competitive
