"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!!"

GOOGLE EARTH shows it best-from sky high looking down
at

heart attacks from those who stepped upon her face.She changes
colors
constantly.Red
orange gray-yet/this one day(it had not rained for a decade)
Clouds
gathered and she turned deep black.Waters from rains cascaded down her
face
I
counted 13 waterfalls white necklaces fountaining off her rock
crags
I
could not move.Drenched,wet through-to finally see from where i
stood
what
the central myth of Rainbow Serpent really meant,Snakes live near
water
Snake
was water merging with her own.When i went home, i had lost
everything.
