"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!!"

Austin,Cornwall,South Africa,Poland,Australia
Bright
birds of rainforest Australia/Austin's open mikes
your
return to Poland to reconsider origins
and
South Africa to bring heat and color home
Every
space becomes a poem,song,artpiece
Every
memory gold,platinum,shining treasure
Each
experience unique as every breath
You
who made a huge red heart that said HOLD M#
a
poet tree with dangling verses to apple pluck
robes
to grant wishes for those departing
hugs
for those left behind in their skin
allies,accomplices,accessories,all
these
only
some of the footsteps we share parallel
Horbury to
Huddersfield,Bradford to Brisbane
with
Cornwall calling for sunshine waves and art
You
start to create when you recreate
Memories
building sandcastles on a gold beach
Waves
come in and out again.Footsteps stay,then disappear...
