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!!"

LOVERS, RECYCLED
BRONTES PAINTED OUT A FAMILY MEMBER
"We don't talk about that mustard seed/bad apple"
The lover before you sent him/her into your/his arms
No guarantees in love.No safety net.Recluse in a cave recuses himself
Recluse in a market excuses herself.No price tags suffice
Healing comes @once or increments.Emotions evolve
Love-capable folk carry those crippled by inadequacies
until matching smiles meet matching mirrors.Trust requires us
to accept,forgive,extend a hand to the other in ourselves/
ourselves in every mirror meaning asking us to reflect upon them.
