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)

what a great band !!! the birds !
É um, é dois, e.......
LIKE LEONARD COHEN
she Googled-DREAM SONG CREATED FROM BIRDS video
and it showed the patience of one who noted
the composition of birds on a wire,and their spacing resembling musical notation.
I GOOGLED and found the clip-heard that sketch of music
was similarly astonished@the Celtic nature of birdsong
how harmonic their spacing,cadence and thrilling trills
Time,space,distance=all illusions!
What matters most is observation-of the links between all sentience
and the calls and responses that emit consciousness
Like birdsong calling to itself-
Answer! Respond!

...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.
