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?"

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION
AS INEVITABLE AS GRAVITY
You go towards what beckons to your Spirit
Like a Magnet in your Soul/you find people
who understand you completely/and whose company
you find both engaging and unique.Places,call,too-
they sing to you like waterfalls and waves.If your humor
is dry as deserts,you will Sahara or Gibson.
If you like distances-Nullabor.Intimacy?Lovers!
Some people are poles apart.Their Life is Art-
but you are outside their Frame of Reference.
No body is perfect-but Perfect Strangers embody
a mystique that allures with resonant curiosity.You can live
your whole life on a question/marked.Or an exclamation/apostrophe..
Whether dialectician or grammarian,you still get to finish-
Your Life Sentence!

...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.
