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)


DOUBLE RAINBOW THUNDER STORM
Blue skies  and rain simultaneously
Splatter windshield while we watch two rainbows bending
Park and watch people absorbing 
This last April shower before May flowering
METAL&LACE a bouquet of flowering
Each weedy poet gathering for harvesting
Outside light rain sang thin streams
'Inside,consciousness was reigning
Stages of pilgrim journeys shared and connected
One night @HEADHUNTERS w/ music soundtrack
Maps we hold in our hands (often they are blank)
For this gift of shared visions-Thanks!
Weather inside -tranquil,calm ,deep
while double rainbows span these wettened Austin streets..

...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.
