"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!!"

BALLADEERS&TROUBADOURS
carry the Zeitgeist of their times to
listeners
Carl Sandburg and Steve Martin on
banjo
Leonard Cohen,Bob Dylan ,Paul Simon on
guitar and piano
and The Grateful Dead via tribal affirmation
gatherings
allegedly around Muse-but Marketry and
Gimmickry ,too
You can buy Rainbow Dreams wrapped up in
Tshirts and bootlegs
Myth overcomes Magic as the Band Plays on
Post Deceased Garcia
Parsing meaning of poet Hunter invokes
allusions to folk
Every word weighed against poets
passed
Held as Mantras for these
masses
Some may turn to Phish
More their own Blissninnies
Tie dyed Dead Heads linger @Rainbow
Gatherings
For the words are
important,man!
They guide you where the Muse
glows
Shiny Shiny Lights in a Deep Dark
Forest..
