"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!!"

EYE BRING MY HANDS TO HER EACH SIX
MONTHS
Vigilance seeks skin
cancers,pre-melanomas
Age spots are brown from sun
contact
She freezes them with a gun
appliance
She looks close,then closer for signs of
moles
Changes of color,skin tones
Her palette is flesh and its warning
signs
Her tools are
creams,lotions,lasers,collagen
Age is the enemy for women
Signs of decay/deterioration
They look in the mirror for someone
younger
I bring my Browning hands ,afraid of
melanomas
