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?"

SUN CAME UP TODAY
People gathered at RECYCLED READS to hear each other's dreams
This was done gently,courteously,competently and well.
The reading was documented-to share with those who missed
this most significant event.Which happens regularly-sun comes up/
people come out to share their dreaming-whether in songs,poems,art or stories
Then dropped in to BOOK WOMAN/one of 12 feminist bookstores surviving..
Shared the good news with Susan Post,who is loading books for her impending Festivals
Smiles later-went to Kick Butt where SPOKEN N HEARD followed an ACC jazz band
and was itself followed by acoustic and punk bands late into Sunday August 4.
All of these events were real and true and added to the world you live within.
How come no one told you?

...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.
