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)

"I HAVE THESE EMOTIONS" (Susie Q)


and they need to come out.so i take them to the magicians stage and release them
some become hoops,some white birds-one a rabbit out of a top hat
you have seen all this before/i am not sure what would happen if i did not release them
i was a wilde bird once/they stole my home trees/now am i turkey/peacock grounded
that is why i like to get high.If my colors inflame you-think rainbow/serpent
Green emerald forests.Feel rivers in your blood wishing for release.Underneath
fire @core/blue steam/world warms.I try to snow mountain,but ice up /meltdown
There were Seasons once(emotional).When i meditate i see colors.
When i dream-mountains.I regain wings and lift above myself.
I am no more than clouds/water in all her costumes.
For elementary particles-see me rise to find you.I knew we could meet
in this very last line.Parallel lives.We were destined for free will
all our singing lines...

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
