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!!"

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.
