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!!"

You want to buy OLD? (we have OLD!)
Genesis said it best-"Selling England by the Pound"
Love
of The Blessed Isles falls into regions-past/present/possibilities
Rocks
and stones of pasts are coastlines ,cliffs,stone circles,castles
which
come craggy into a post coal present.Romans,Saxons,Normans,Jutes
left
reminders of their temporary possessions,much as
elves,piskies,devas,faeries,sprintes
blessed
the landscape with sacred rivers ,wells,springs ,hills and tors.Space is
mall
Condensed
histories crowd like dialects and accents,villages and Museums.
Bigger
than books,wider than movies,deeper than politics,
the
grumbling crumbling Post War Post Empire Little Britain
still
attracts rich visitors who wish to buy into her multi-storied
mansions.
Some
still wish to migrate.Most merely visit/pay/depart/pay departure
tax
with
love of landscape,people or possible projects condensed into diamond sharp
time.GONE!
