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?"
LOVE,GRIEF,LOSS,RECOVERY
You cannot "own" a cat
Less so a bird-or dog
They can be trained for tricks
Ever seen a "cat circus?"
Yet the loss of pets can leave a Grand Canyon grief
One that no flood of Rio Grande tears can assuage
You can carry a hole in your heart for a long time
Plug it with unsatisfactory alternatives-
Drink,Drug,Hate,Cry-all fail to impress over time
Or you can find a Lesser God to worship-
Cuddle a snake,a rat,a robot chicken/
None of these will last/as long as memories..
