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)

EARTH AS HEAVEN
Being like,the BEST garden we have yet seen
and that snake-WOW! Man!GLEAMING!
TEMPTATION(Salome,Jezebel)alluring
Sirens,Calliope,Cassandra calling
Mix me a metaphor.Dig me a jazz cat riff.
We are so sedated we do not know the diff
The WHOLE of Science Fiction as future facts
Prophecies/projections in musical mind maps
Notes as space melodies/even Planets sing
And the moon,i think,has strong meditations
Some wish a moon base,some a rocket to Mars
Some still want jetpacks and space bards
There is no sound in space if you cannot listen

Snakes of seduction still entice and glisten

...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.
