"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!!"

HEARD ABOUT IT-
Bucolic peace.Deer grazing.Slow
walkers
As if the speed and pace had never
happened
Silence broken via crinkled leaves and
wind.
Creak of wooden wheels,splash of water
wheels
Hand made.Home made.Every thing you need
.
Village .Farms.Fenced.Furrowed.Cry of
bird
Shiver of trees.Seasons here mean more than
gossip.
When sun comes-celebrate
harvests.Winter-bone soup.
Spring means gardens.Autumn for age and
leavings.
When did we lose this walking time/these
ambulatory ages?
Perhaps William Blake was right.And General
Ludd!
