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!!"

EVOLUTIONARY RESOLUTIONS
AFFIRMATIONS,PLANS,PROMISES TO KEEP
until
you dream shell egg wake and break them
Delicate
spiderweb bitten by Plato's Utopian bliss
This
year invites you to step in to it/yet/every cycle
we
find the limits of our tenderness.Next day/week/month
another
Titanic list replaces Franz.Fall into diet despair
Waistlines
expand to fit.We sink into Weight of Gravity
Why do we torture
ourselves with Self-Improvement ?
Can
we not accept ourselves as we are?We are not New
nor
is this process.Who dare ask we change?
Only
Baby Transformation,utilizing this cycle season
to
dream us into someone new,or ,if not-
second
hand would do..
