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?


THE SEA IS IN LOVE WITH THE LAND
BUT THE LAND IS IN LOVE WITH THE SKY
And the trees have their roots in the earth
But their leaves compost and mulch
Earth cracks in drought and by fracking
Water wants to be free of plastics/radioactivity
Ends up in plastic/sold as a commodity
But the sea is still in love with the sky'
and the earth is in love with the forests
And we live within this great love affair
that makes for Saharas and Amazons..
Love is like this-floods and drought
Hunger and release.And when we are Elemental,

everything is in love with you.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
