"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!!"

BYE BYE JAN
HELLO FEBRUARY!
Short month of love and
chocolates
Hallmark cliches and soap
operas
Little Cupids shooting love
arrows
Forgetting St Valentine's day
massacres
and the true death of the real St
Valentine!
O February!-you improve on the fickle
weather of January
with heated blood reds and passionate
pinks
Roses! Roses! Roses! Petal me
pot-pourri
You are a French Restaurant/an intimate
dinner for two
Hearts and flowers flung madly around
bedrooms
Mad smiles and decadent joys actually
encouraged
As the reds of Valentine's soon change to
the Greens of St Patrick...
