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!!"

USE,USES,USED
(declension -or conjugation?)
BUILD UPON THIS!
Your Constitution?Speeches and prose
via lawyers who know
dullness and duty
keep people sheeple
Your folk songs/poems?
Guthrie/Kerouac/Ochs
Minstrels of memories
reminding you of differences
between rights and privilege
So when you say"Poetry is not engaged!
Remember you are married to it
Any divorce of words and meaning
requires
a property settlement
We
get significance
You
get experience
Every
body wins!
Sing
your lines /outside the cages
Open
mikes/open minds/open stages...
