"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!!"

LOW KU
solitary owl
writing
in midnight hours
Japanese
haiku!
Sounds
in the night time!
Wild
deer? or a hunter-
Crashing
in to night
She
eats venison
Deer
still outside her window
Do
not know this fact
Stars
above us now
Silent
in their blazing light
Extinguished
long ago!
Time
will not wait now
She
is counting syllables
While
this world counts cash
Embracing
Japan!
Basho! (not
Fukushima)
crashing
in to us..
Radiation
glows
Nuclear
reactors show
Chenobyl
mutants
Seaweed
inside us
Oceans
between us calling
Whale
to dolphin
