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?" 

THE VIOLIN THAT BROKE MY HEART

THAT ANGELIC HARP THAT MENDED IT

More than horsehair strings and finger plucking

More than tangos and orchestral solos

The piano that ran away with the full moon

The classical guitar that trained itself

to heal via harmonies/among falling ,rising scales

Hours of coeans in a thimble of practice

And that flute that brought Shiva to Krishna's Gopis

That Russian bassoon.That French Matterhorn.

Boil that kettle drum!Bring a baton!All creature wide and slim

join circles when they seek to sing.She has a music all her own

Smiles ring in a New Note(not counterfeit!).

Cash in on a Melodious 2016 before 2015 runs out retrospectively

confusing what has happened with what is personally significant

You are more than a desk calendar.You are an Orchestra!
