"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!!"

O
Me Miserum!said Plato of his younger generation
I
stand with Heraclitus in the Rivers of Change
and
stare at my Simple Phone/pre-Smart,pre-ipod,pre-ipad
and
spend time writing this to you
rather
than texting
