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!!"

MEMOIRS/REMEMBRANCES 2013
At this age,you gather your sheep and ask each for a
story
A
wolf interjects /disagrees with your version.Each eagle eyes a lamb,waiting for
winter
In
your Spring step,green and tripping,you gamboled.Now your weather eye is
peeled
for
time is a storm between shelters.Experience a leaking ship.You row faster than
hurricanes
Words
slip /Titanics/sink.Will you art before life leaves?Edit or tell full
truth?
Shame
and Indecision argue loudly.One wants birdcalls,the other roadkill.Between,you
vacillate
Does
grammar matter to the dead?Will your family already know?Who dares censor you
now?
Grandchildren
follow in their own baby blankets.Blink like koalas.Innocent?or just
diplomatic?
Every
body knows.There are no secrets.Before and after death=stories.Tell them
now!
Memoirs
are made for Revelations.Bible of your Being.Truth Will Out!oops!should i have
said that?
