"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!!"

SWORD IN THE STONE
SETTING?-OR THE STONE?
I
ask her-"what is that shining in your bag?"
She
shows me gemstones,in silver argentum
(for
me-these settings were more beautiful than the dream of common
stone)
As
a framer makes more than artist,and the merchant more than god
i
puzzled why beauty of nature is enhanced more via hand
Michelangelo's
David-"SPEAK!"Rodin's sculptures sang
as
did Gustav Vigeland's.Harmonic form and line
dreamed
in Avatar sleep-danced upon the curlicue metallic.
She
knows this.Does not seek "precious"gems-
more
earth mud born,clay colored-and forms silver rings-
Argentum
(never Aurum)-to shine for my random eyes
waiting
in the chiropractor's foyer..
