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!!"

RESPONSE IS EVERYTHING!
the way flowers rise to rain and light
lends life to weed and plant
The way green is a language of dialect and accents
Rainbows do not need a storm to punctuate
Events move us and move through us
We are as wind is-invisible yet present
filling sails of sensory evidence/making motion
where wave would stay in stillness
Our home is here-in suit of skin
and song of bird/in song and art and word
tap tap tapping @the walls /you heard
how elders and ancestors made their way
in older days-this was a slower play(of consciousness
These will never be THE Last Days(maybe ours/maybe hours
Forgetfulness makes it that way..
