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?"

REMEMBERING THE REMEMBERERS
Pete Sebert keeps Barbara Carr's memory alive
Susan Post still celebrates the poetry of Deb Akers
Randy Lusk respects Christina Sergevyna
Many poets remember Albert Huffstickler
Yet when it comes to Herman Nelson ,
only his daughters share Elksinger's Perfected Tarot
John Berry ,Herman and Barbara all have FACEBOOK sites
Yet are there legions of poetic brave hearts needing recognition..
Dr.Joseph Colin Murphey.Dr Byron Kocen,Dr.Marvin Kimbrough-here are the lines below
for you to add those Austin poets you love and remember-
then send this to other rememberers..Forgetfulness is a poet's Nemesis..
Write down their names now,and send this forward ,into the future...

...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.
