"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!!"

GODDESS & THE GREEN MAN
Wild ones are legends-Amazons,Yetis,Bigfoot,
Almas,Almasty,Men
of the Forest shrink
as
habitat is stolen for village,town,city,metropolis
Meet
them after midnight on the dark end of your streets
haunting
imaginations in horror movies-large and darker than shadows
Joseph
Campbell,Carl Jung found Shadow Men and Dopplegangers
haunting
our cities as griffins ,dodos and dragons,mermaids and monsters
once
filled our minds oceans depths.We see and do not believe(Loch Ness'
Bessie)
Documentaries
affirm /assert creatures from Mongolia to Sumatra larger than skeletal
evidence
Faith
and fear sustain legends of vampires,zombies,monsters of deep night
dreams
Screen
fill with images of these Godzilla uranium savages-mutants from
Chenobyl/Fukushima
morphing
into wide screen 3D movies-reassuring us there are creatures always larger and
more dangerous than us
