"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 BEAUTIFUL THING
about creativity-it does not need to be believed!
A
storm,a rose,a garden,weeds,an ashtray,dogs,trees,lights-
it
is as if the Circus comes to town!Beer,smoke,laughter,chatter
add
to the pub truth-we remember and forget simultaneously
All
these lines,stories,songs,poems,lies,fables-are all beginnings.
They
follow silver snail trails into back gardens
where
Art and Life collide over Bills.Eternal this/
clash
of prose and poetic!Bird cannot afford rent for nest
nor
borrowed wings for sky.Tree cannot afford leaves,nor family
branches
Gets
tree wilt.Cries.Yet sprigs of green mean new trees Spring forth
Cycles
repeat /never the same.Holy Earth!Holy Sky!Holy Water!Holy Fire!
