THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem


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 wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)

VALUABLE/RELATIONSHIP
one person kayak
two person canoe
too many sailors
do not know what to do
to sail or to meditate?
to buy or to sell?
to share their life stories?
to ask or to tell?
sitting round a campfire
Buddha told his followers
"Think of stones-some small,some large

Which ones are followers?Which ones leaders?"
