"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!!"

IS EVERY ART EKPHRASIS?
YOU ARE THE MODEL FOR THIS
I
stole your face/your dreams
spilled
in to mine/and we
pour
them in to paper
Mine
come out in words
Yours
are stretched as art
More
than 3D origami
You
make an art that allows us to make more
by
extending yours!Such trust in us!
That
,posthumously,you are now famous
for
your uniqueness/and your "busts"
stretch
across the known universe
Every
Artform seeds more
Harvests
are to often posthumous
Time
to love our artists while they live
Ask
Van Gogh-he sold one painting while he lived!
