"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!!"

AUDEN 2 BREUGHAL
Icarus still fails Challenger(first upon the sun?
Crowds
still chant endless street demonstrations
Comedians
still beat you up with punch lines
Trains
will never run on dictator time
Art
will never match carpets nor spilled blood
Houses
on the market in a drought /now flood
Gatherings
of circles,ellipses,spirals smile
as
squares and rectangles morph into homes,schools,jails
Art
is a soundtrack to a movie you live
Life
you can not buy-the best is when you give!
