"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!!"

MISSING MOMENTS
IN BETWEEN MOMENTS OF PERSONAL DISASTER
i
DEFINITELY HEARD SOME SOUNDS OF LAUGHTER
even
though the weather was all totally polar
Poles
reversed, with elvish HO -HO-HOs
even
when i thought it could not get much worse
i
end up writing blank Hallmark verse!!
there
is always something liberating
in
each moment of personal co-creating
call
her Muse or Fates or Life or Gaia
if
breath is a spiral-let us spiral higher!
you
see,my feral cat just woke me out of bed
it
is Fat Tuesday-and instead of Mardi Gras
i
wrote this awkward versicle with weather icicles
and
cannot help but smile and laugh
even
though i am writing in the dark
it
seems i have lost my creative spark
but
this makes my rhyming poet friends hark
to
those missing moments of significance
where
meaning is subject to form/
when
even the wilde is restored to your norm.
