THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem


Rob Ayling writes: 

"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 wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)

LIVING NEAR WATER


a Lake. Stillness. Silence. Wind. Trees. Calm
a creek.fast splash to trickle thin.laughing waters
a river. Slow. Moving. Changing with weathers.
a waterfall.Constant fountaining.Air water hair .
a beach.waves.seagulls.moontides
a forest.shadows.tall neighbors.birdcalls
rainy areas. fog. mist. Twilight Zones
near mountains.held in the arms of earth.
by being close.you absorb/transmit.
by becoming water you change-
become creek, river, lake, forest, beach
older than time.sleep dream this.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
