"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!!"

WAVES AWAY
my pages book splattered spumesit sand days stare distance shimmer waves
haze between water surface and sky
Nothing as definite as that sound of swish and splosh
depositing rocks,rope,plastic parts of ages past
Time capsules of shattered glass/now smoothened seagreen
Jellyfish splop waiting to be picked up
They expect to be treated like star fish(not!
Sea brings back what it throws up
Shoreline of soaked castles,eroded beaches
Punch and Judy of tidal moon turnings
Dumped onto time stopped photographs
Continuing littoral edges.One day one will win
