"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!!"

WAITING, WATCHING, WITNESSING
with Ferlinghetti-"for the rebirth of wonder!"
with
Bukowski for whom"the days run away
like
wild horses over the hills"
with
Maurice Strandgard who reminds me
"you
do not have to apologize for touching me"
with
Ken Smeaton who reminds me
"try
and see a poet giving value for your time-
try
and see a poet giving value for your mind"
Then
i listen to you/watch what you do
One
black coffee later/no words necessary...
