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 and 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)

HALF A DREAM
I saw a famous man eating @Taco Marias
He was surrounded by smiling blondes
and had a table groaning with Mexican foods
I like being anonymous

Each day,another petition dumps itself on my front lawn
like a wounded bird that needs healing
Ocean to a thimble/i bail out

My friends are dematerialising
They remind me-Art is temporary
and all life is art..

Spring!still politicians vote for war
against all Nature.Contra Naturam
So i go back to sleep

Rip van Winkle on Groundhog Day.
