"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!!"

MY SISTER IS A RHYMING WRITER
She leaves every body feeling lighter
Via
her astute use of rhyme/wiser
to
the ways of this world than i
who
find refuge in the verse of free
which
rarely rhymes,but is more me than she
who
adroitly cages end-stopped words/easily
corrals
and fleeces them of any self-reflexivities
So
others might nibble at her cheese
and
mouse around in computer freedom
within
a chosen discipline of structure
while
i,outside the walls of poetry
fly
freer.If it was i were forced to rhyme
i
fear i could not /would not-not even this time
in
this very last and final line.
