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!!"

THE LOST PHONE
I AM NOT SAYING YOUNG R INSECURE
Yet
when she re-entered the room without her pink friend
she
seemed miniature/sans batteries/
i
asked her"what is the matter?"
She
almost cried/quivered"I've lost my phone!
A
search party was sent out-we scoured the floor,the couch
She
could not live without the closest thing to her!
It
was her confidante/she sent her texts and Tweets out
She
was more intimate with her little pink friend
than
any of us in that tiny library room
We
had an idea-Someone phone her number!When we hear the ring!...
"I
had it on VIBRATE for the poetry reading...
We
dared not smile.She got smaller and smaller
until
she resembled a skeleton app
She
reached inside the back seat couch and pulled her little pink thing
out
She
almost cried!She held it close.We all wished we were that phone!
