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?

AUSTRALIA STORMS

CLIMATE DISRUPTION

affects Australia greatly-

as an island surrounded by waters

as a Continent with five climate zones

and a pattern of Wet and Dry has now become

unpredictable storms,floods and drought

Of course,storms cause most damage

where people are concentrated together.

This may have been happening in the Outback

but no one was there to report it...
