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?

WILD WATERS
WE CANOED ON THE LAST WILDE RIVER IN AMERICA
The Alligator River in Arkansas has no dams stopping its flow
so kayakers and canoeists choose to paddle  their craft therein.
Yet i noticed globules of oil on the surface-"Why is this?"(i asked
"Well,Thom,this is a wild area,with strong sunlight -so adventurers
wear lots of sunblock,and it drips into the river /on the surface.."
"O "
BARTON SPRINGS IS@THE SPIRIT CORE OF AUSTIN
Floods close the Pool irregularly.Debris floats down.
Dogs do their waste  as it flows into Town Lake
where fluoride and chlorine are added.
Then we drink the "Spring"waters..

"O"

...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.
