"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!!"

FOR FIFTEEN YEARS,ONE TINY
TOWN
has echoed to its Village
Fools
who gather together from miles
around
with only smiles and
instruments to prove
that fantasy beats
reality/songs and poetry
are REAL (Estates)/and worthy
of investment
in love and beaming over
hate.Fear fails to convince
when Sacred Clowns in Colored
Clothes
unwrap the threaded
manuscripts
that flow beyond the world we
know.Each (he)artbeat pulse
extends the range/to make
little Lamesa large again-
to welcome in the weird and
wilde
building foundations of shared
smiles..
