THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem


Rob Ayling writes: 

"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!!" (The wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)

"IF "2014
IF YOU COULD BE MY SUNLIGHT
(i would drink you in!Moonlight?Ditto!
Call me shadow!IEye hang round where Light gathers
just to absorb the glow.Sometimes,when i am full(i radiate!
There is a little bit of happiness in every rainbow(bent and refractive!
Straight lines are sad!I am glad they Meetup@Infinity!
I prefer curved parabolas/The way orbits chase teh sun
like a tag team in deep space(Moon watches,eating cheese..)
Stars applaud.Light On.Lights OFF!

APP FOR THAT
When we ran out of water/we made a water app
Same for sun and moon light
Now our apps have run out.Hollow moon.Empty sun.

COULD EYE HAVE A PINT OF MOONGLOW PLEASE?

And a sparkle of sunlight to see by?(when eye read my newspaper...

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
