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!!"

IF BANKSY WERE A LADY

MODELS,MUSES,MOTHERS,LOVERS

Ancillary accessories to be worn like fickle fashion

Dispensed with like empty tubes of paint

Now step up,Ladies!Art World is YOURS!

You cast the runes of Fortune's Fates

O Yoko!Stella McCartney!New Young Faces smile

for their sculptures&artpieces are revered after a while

solo exhibitions reveal a vein of independence

that is art as well as artistic.Follow their fire,o flaming ones!

Burning Man and Flipside open to every one.

Half the human race is photographing everyone

The rest make movies of art&art movies

Write books to explain how women are fame

Now see how many you can name!
