"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!!"

DIVAS
Paparazzi home in on Paris Hilton and those Kardashians
famous
for being famous on someone else's screen
We
do not know them as people-not even as "Friends"on FACEBOOK
and
i like this elegance of distance-no stalking,no home invasions
In
fact,the more distant,the better.This relationship is mediated to begin
with
and
gets less meaningful over time.Like Margaret Thatcher and Boadicea-
stories,legends,rhymes
replace relationships
and
we would not like them up close and personal
Even
the lovable-Edith Piaf,Marilyn Monroe,Elizabeth Taylor
filled
SCANDAL and GOSSIP magazines in their time.
I
reflect upon famous blondes-the"love goddesses"of their time-
Jean
Arthur,Jean Harlow,Madonna,Lady Ga-Ga-
I go further
back to Danu,Leto,Demeter,Renenet,Haumea,Heget-
so
many manifestations of love,and some of motherhood.
Maia
was visited by Zeus @night-hence Hermes!And our month of May!
Ninhursag,Ixchel,Freyja
and Frigg-their facets reveal why we honor
our point and
source of creative emergence.No need to speak of Kali or Shakti!
Each
mother borne knows unconditional love-some know why!
