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?
ALREADY IT IS HAPPENING
Retro-Mania in the media
Saturated with syrupy shopping
soundtracks
We look back @2018,as if it has already
finished
Soon it will be New Year mania,with Old
Man Santa
replaced by bouncing baby boy New Year
Those Christmas lights?EMERGENCY
vehicles
or Red Light gridlocked holiday
traffic
Those parcels under Shopping Mall trees
are empty promises
Still,there is residual carol
singing
A Festive glow of gluttony/a sprinkle
of weird weather
And happy cards sent to remind those
you love
you are still alive-despite the high
rate of suicides over December...
