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!!" 

BERRIES AND BANANAS

STRAWBERRIES GROW FUR

Blueberries grow gray

Raspberries soft and mush

Bananas black and soft

Blame refrigeration?

Buy green bananas -

and watch them ripen?

Childhood strawberries

tough red diamonds

Supermarket new

Bloated mush red

"ORGANIC" as NATURAL?

Still deterioration!

Climate? or fertilizers?

Natural ?or artificial?

Eating berries for breakfast

Slow philosophies..
