"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!!"

BECAUSE FAR AWAY
MOON IS FAIR PLAY FOR NIGHT
Romances prevailing
shades,shapes,echoes
Once you were a typewriter/a
bicycle
luckily young enough not to
know
what would be invented to cost more
work
Clocks had arms and batteries /phones had
cords
(Disbelieving children laugh)ONCE UPON A
SOUND
was a human voice.SIRI ,GPS,apps
await
Every thing has changed.Become
artifact.
We are miniature Museums,sharing
secrets-
Wildflowers,nasturtiums,moon so
close
you could hold stars in your very
eyes
