"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!!"

LYREBIRD IN A RAINFOREST
TO COME ACROSS A POET IS A
RARE OCCASION
To hear their solo singing in deep
green is rarer!
You may think you see the shaking
of wings
as she shakes and quivers
there
This is her only
habitat
This is where she lives and
digs
To be beauty is what we seek to
be
Just to be-some bird whip singing
in a light forest
Some bright spark shining in the
dark
Watch as the instrument of
troubadours
is transformed into something
more...
