"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!!"

WHEN RELATIONSHIPS ALL SEEM HISTORIC
SO YOU SIT DOWN (as if your life has passed
and
spin bottle stories like ancient mariners
albatross
of antique memories round your neck
All those women
may never know you
Some
will be grand mothers ,triple divorcees ,widows
you
sit in a cafe reading funeral notices
which,like
astrology,tend to cheer you up
