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)


ONE CUP OF NIGHT

splash full of stars
some planets-Uranus,Venus,Mars
blinking airplane lights
like little UFOs
a silence of the sleeping cars
here is where we dream
of impossible scenes
disappear like dewdrops in the dawn
faeries fly on./piskies dissipate./angels invisible
when Ol Sol rounds gold light
for now all is dark and silver
shiny /bright.Eye could live like this
Every life.
