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?"

WHAT I WANTED TO SAY
I VALUE OUR FRIENDSHIP IN A REAL &VALID FORM
All virtual extensions are mere signposts along the path
that we share in times and spaces dedicated to conversation
and contentment and continuance resulting from such contacts.
Virtual is not enough.Facebook "friends"are not.
I want to know all such "friends"in real life BEFORE virtual connections.
I want to say that we actually know each other/have shared time and space together
and enjoy any such times when we can continue these conversations.
Personally,this means(for me)-no Instagram,Pinterest,Twitter,nor text..
It means a desire for actual phone conversations,as well as real time ones.
But most of all,it means to dedicate time ,energy and space
so we might extend this friendship in the real world,
and i look forward to speaking with you soon..

...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.
