"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!!"

CONNOTATIONS
Blue can mean
sky/eyes/seas/Picasso's period
Mood /emotion/a form of
music/Monica Lewinsky
Each bee's eyes see multiple
refractions
Take one prism ,add to
context.Are U blue?
Then deep ocean different to
sky shallow
Coral reef waters blue
different to lagoon/lake
Take any blue and a spectrum of
depth ensues
You have fallen into blue /now
you see only black skies
Night of punch drunk
stars/morning of Cavaliers and flags
When he came from The Blue
People/it was more than metaphor
Race had stolen Light and Shade
moved in -deep as dark
Could this pigmentation change
with age?or will we be blue as ever
Pale,wan,insipid
,thin,diluted,so many mixed tones and hues
you can not tell where blue
loses every core value
Decides to
assimilate/integrate.Forgets palette and panache
Famous Blue Raincoat.
