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?"
THIS IS MY "COMMON PLACE BOOK"
By which i add maxims,cliches,cartoons-
a mish-mash melange of significant phrases
that diamond twine time in a Zen bow
then serve it up in diary /memoir format.
NOTHING IS ORIGINAL!(not even saying that)
All those footsteps of ancestors logged in books
'All those fictional and factional characters
Every experience that alluded to other dimensions
Here is your stone soup.Add memories,myths,Legends
Embroider like a true improvising story-teller
Then serve it up in banquet Banquo proportions
Allusion is no Illusion!Everything you see/you say!
As fresh as yesterday.Post Restante in the Republic of Letters!
