"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!!"

ALL DAY LONG MUGGY HUMID HOT
UNTIL RELEASED/RAIN WASHED US
sounds
of night insects hunting feasts
within,we
keep the doors and windows open
RELIEF!All day
long-complaints from those
who
did not expect to be blackmailed by weather patterns
Emotions
rise with heat.Streets waver in waves.
Pressure
builds until clouds congregate
and
give back the rain they stored for too long
We,too,loosened
,released.relaxed
Night
is now a song outside
while,within,we
enter in early morning awakenings
Hours
sleep deep.Half moon blinks.
Morning
will bring us into a new dream
Until
Zen-we shed our skin-and sing!
