"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!!"

APRIL'S FOOL
So we arrive @the venue-to find no one there
No
host,no Manager,no one!
this
is how venues disappear
I
get phone calls from salespeople
who
think poetry is a business
They
are very short calls
Either
the business goes under
or
poetry is not music
or
"we are having a change of format"
What
i love most in this world-is ENERGY!
Flux,flow,effulgence!Containers
change
but the spirit of
LIFE! moves along-(rivers,veins,venues
Awaken
to April,Spring,green,gold sun,gardens
"This
is the best of all possible worlds!"
