"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?
COLD &DARK&MOON
COMBINE
in Sacred Winter Season.Fires
(interior)warm the stillness
Shopping stops(pre- and
post-sales)
Doors close /families
within/gourmandising
Perhaps desultory fireworks in South
Austin.
Traffic.Accidents.Cars collide like
meteors.
All these Lights!(with vehicles beside
them)
Trail of Parking .Stare at STAR
WARS
What has Christmas to do with
inflatables?
Strung Lights struggle
/blinking,uncertain.
Stock Market dives like a
shutdown.
Tis the Season.To
stop.Meditate.
Scrooge?or Grinch?BAH! or
HUMBUG?
Throw hope as projected trust into this
dead Calendar.
Maybe a New Year?Perhaps Bethlehem this
year?
Palestine with walls around.Soon we
will have our own..
