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 Thom'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?"

LUCKY LICKED LANGUAGES

LUCKY LOVED LINGUISTIC EFFICACIES

Polysyllables delighted her

Lilt of language touched

that tongue inside her ear

She heard ,responded,reacted

as if sound were a wave inside her

Spiral shell auricles

Ocean seashell orchestras

Musical waves floated her

into a deeper Sea of Tranquility

To hear changed her inner architecture

To sing  her outside world

Lines between the two became blurred

She turned -from mono to stereo

to quadraphonic -with speakers in every room

She felt every note/every emotion-

love to joy,loss to gloom.Only silence

ignored her.
