"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!!"

EZRA POUND SAID
WHEN WORD MET MUSIC
They eloped.It was love @first
sound
Echoes of antique associations
reminded each of families they
shared-
compound and fractured.Word had
joined
with mono-and poly-syllabic assemblies
before.
Esperanto ,ebonics,sign language
,Morse
This code of linguistics was no
stranger
Even as she progressed into transgressive
sound contexts-
Pound,Marinetti,Arp -all those
Surrealists
Barked dog mirrors for an angry
sun.
Moon sedated mirror waters later
Lotus
Serene as koi.Each ripple a dip into
deeper
Music trapped within the skin becomes
beat
Heart and pulse rejoiced!Flowers of
sounds...
Voice!
