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?

I HAD A CAT CALLED 'DOG'
i was adopted by her
she saw me as a stray
and decided to love me more
she followed me around
i had to care for and feed her
she became my albatross
my lucky charm/my Doppleganger
my boss/my full-time caretaker
whenever i felt trauma
Dog was there to calm me down
One day,when i was sitting on the porch
She attracted my attention.Once she was sure
that i was watching,she departed this life. I am sure
she is still watching.
