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)

IN THE GAME
One is immersed in the yes
in the scruff .In the scrum.In the island moment
Fully involved.Fully present.
Leave for a second/world rushes in
with its sirens and EMERGENCE
Dive back in to the pool
where it is not the ball so much
as the interplay of players.
Unlike the world,this is a simple game
Even the ball knows

Nothing is permanent
