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!!"

LIFE AS ART
Drew is separating/this time divorce
which
means he will have more time playing music
All
these thoughts are seeking that release he gets
from
playing harmonies when someone else expresses
He
says he used to hate me until one night a light came on
that
told him i was for him,encouraging original extemporization
Perhaps
he knew this all along-proud of his suicidal poems
he
ripped them from his pages and handed them on
Now-what
is a poet to do with poetry?or a musician with more music?
Each
artist in this evening is called upon to create
And
we make soundscapes of wonder,and wander where we will
stray
far from the professed point and purpose until
evening
ends at 9pm and conversation too
we
spill into the broken streets
only
the moon ,these stars
and
you
