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!!"

HALLOWE'EN POEM
NIGHT CLOUD HORSES BROOD
Thunder stomps his hooves
Lightning slashes the face of sky
Underneath is how and why
we are still Children of Nature
No controls on wind or storm
Bitter chill or humid warm
We have no powers @all!
Lost orphans of Nature
Build our Towers tall and watch
as in time they are demolished
We are what we create and soon
we will be baying@an empty moon
Dead may not rise except in memory
We hold mirrors up to sun and stars to see
Creatures of Light and Dark will always be
Resurrected by Halloween
