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)

IN THE QUEENDOM OF CATS
They alone rule.Rest,relax(pretend to hunt
that full food bowl you so often replenish
Elegant in original fur coat,pensive as pride
Cats rarely collect as a tribe.Inside cats vs outside
And those strange breed who fly between worlds
Live whole lives out in feral wilds.They cannot speak
of kittens dumped in sacks in rivers.Of Emancipet and vets
bills.Of flat cats run to fur via trucks.Of screeching sex nights
Moon watching times.Stillness.Cat silences.Cat meditation.
Look if you dare into her cats eyes.Mirror moons.FLY!

Ok. Henri’s first video was great. But this is about infinity times better. If you haven’t seen Henri 2, Paw de Deux yet, this video won a Golden Kitty Award!...

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
