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!!"

I LOVED JOHN LENNON'S WORDWORKS

"Spaniard In The Works""In His Own Write"

with a Spike Milligan surreality ,tainted with bent

and so richly 1964 people almost forgot it was poetry

June 4 Sotheby's will make another killing  from selling originals

It is June 2014-long dream nightmare soup from long gone 1964 John

whose estate gains nothing from these auctions/which deceive the living

via selling dead artifacts that are more than belong to one man-

John Lennon belonged to everyone...His abundant creativity we celebrate

when buying the works he made in fresh youth-not estate sales from publishers

who kill two birds with one auction.Let the millions that will be made go to his children.

They also were his creations.They need to benefit from such posthumous sales..
