"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!!"

Hear?Be Mermaids!
On that STARBUCKs logo/in a Disney DVD.from a fairy tale
by
Hans Christian Anderson.in Salado Creek.made of recycled water
meters
washed
away in the floods.Pitted /to be recast in bronze(with money and
love!
For
a myth is a story that holds community together-through storms in
time
we
all need icons.We came from the sea,and that legend sustains us
That
is why we visit Sirena in Salado Creek.Tonkawa before us
knew
that love transcends all elements-so they weaved a teaching story
that
we share as a child's tale/a moral and a metaphor...
When
you are out of your element,magic still sustains us
That
is why the sirens sing,Circe resurrects,harpies haunt
and
Sirena awaits us-soon in a new bronze shining in Salado Creek!
