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 BIRDS OUTSIDE THE CAGE
ARE FED BY THOSE WITHIN
Is this not a simple way
of wage stabilizing?
WILD GEESE LIKE MARY OLIVER
Fly beyond our range
We know there is freedom
Somewhere,somehow, some day.
FEEDING PIGEONS BY HAND
With wild bird seeds
Encouraging them
To fly, free!
COCKATOOS and PINK GALAHS
Shriek and swoop and peck and play
Beyond the range of farmers' guns
They survive/wild-today!
