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?"

AUTUMN IS A CUMIN IN

Days of blue skies and sunshine

Awakening to Festivals/outdoors calls

and we are water bound and bouncing

Bicycles /pedestrians on hike and bike trails

Down by the Lake or Barton Springs

Where there is clear,clean running water(we dive in!

Like salamanders aquatically enjoying.

This Town is lucky in its water sources-

creeks leading down to Lakes  where all

may canoe and kayak,swim and ski

with benign temperatures/easily!

Still nights,clear skies ,stars and moon above

Autumn trees feel that musical air we call "love"

An early, excellent and very apt for this time of year song by Robin Williamson.
