"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!!"

ON NATIONAL COMIC BOOK DAY
LINES SNAKE OUTSIDE COMIC BOOK
STORES
to be given FREE copies of comix and graphic
novels
Tiny fresh womb -hatched miniature people
select their colorfilled offerings from
shelves
with varieties of historical heroes.It does
not matter
that all are fictional.Staff are dressed
like heroes and heroines
and they are polite,helpful and well
informed as to procedures.
Hundreds have come on this special
pilgrimage
because it is a visual world
because the heroes we grew up with have
changed
because all children love a good
comic
because AVENGERS/Age of Ultron has just been
released
because it is a perfect Spring
day
because people like FREE! and comics are an
eternal distraction
We all want to imagine some superhero will
solve our dilemmas
For one day,our eyes will peruse all
positive possibilities
Until tomorrow...
