THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, 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 within 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?" 

TYPES OF INTELLIGENCE

like children,i use models

for each style of reasoning-a mode-

political,sociological,anthropological,

historic,legal,-even computer modeling

So one applies plumbers glue to one problem

Elmer's glue to another.To link disparate data

one can think like an engineer-or a songbird

when it comes to the making of nests

Role play home builder architect  or

Bibical wall breaker Joshua&those walls of Jericho

Archetypal thinking(metaphor)chooses and distinguishes

between the building of walls-or bridges/doors-or prisons

To re-engineer social problems may take the wings of songbirds

and the lyrics of song writers-or just a different mode of applied glue..
