"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!!"

YOU KNOW IT STOPS
and when you get off,all others
have
to work out what to do
with
their versions of you.
You
are out of the loop-!
Most
folk gather the flowers of positives
say
sweet things in absentia
go
quiet over the grumpy bits
(it
is almost as if you were there
directing
orchestras of affirmations.
We
will meet.Talk about you
For
those who never knew you
,this
will be new.Usually inclusion demands
every
voice has a vote.Nostalgia/memory -two!
Ghost
Banquo-we do not even wait
for
time nor distance to take
you
away from us.
The
boat is leaving soon
Passenger
manifest blank
Who
do we thank ?
for
effective farewells?
