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?"

CREATING @BOULDER CREEK@THE BROOKDALE LODGE
RIGHT NOW,FIRE ENGINES ARE ASSEMBLED
to Save the Lodge and Boulder Creek
Fires are intense and growing.Heat is everywhere
Cast your minds back to the 1990s
when BLISSNINNIES and OLD DEAD BUG played
in the Grateful Dread tradition of improvised jams
which always allowed space for poetry to wing in among them..
Brookdale Lodge a famed spot where JFK trysted with Marilyn
Before that, when Mafia stored cadavers in teh freezer vaults
And,even now,with a trickle creek running through the Restaurant
One New Years eve,coming in with drama,dance,poetry and music
Mudslides had blocked the slim thin vein tracks that claimed road status
So we played acoustic all night long,cuddled up in songs
Freed with fine musical memories of Brookdale Lodge,Boulder Creek
and every member of Blissninnies worthy of their fame!

...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.
