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?"

WHO ARE YOU?(asked my mirror..
"i am a part of you that reflects"
It does not matter which of us is real
Nor which one loves more
Nor the desperate comparisons-
Love's failures &accumulations
Not even that Light that allures(distant,searching)
Nothing gives the full image-
Not Photoshop,nor ZOOM,nor SKYPE
CISCO WEBEX nor FACEBOOK LIVE..
There are parts of us stored in other's eyes/lives
which ,like a stolen book/look,may never be returned for fines
"We are a part of all that we have ever met"
More awaits the replenishment/diminishment
This story has a beginning/in every conversation spinning
like Sufi dervish dancers on a knife edge
Sharp as constructions.Provisional as Freedom.
Release comes-when we let go-of definitions...

TWO PART CAPTAIN BEEFHEART ARTICLE

CAPTAIN Beefheart once sang: ‘I may be hungry but I sure ain’t weird.’ The rest of the world might beg to differ.

The cap’n, also known as Don Van Vliet, produced some of the most challenging music of the 20th century, particularly with Trout Mask Replica. This double album released in 1969 has divided critics and fans ever since, with many decrying it as rubbish and the rest hailing it as a masterpiece. It was finally officially accepted as a bona fide work of art in 2011, the year after his death, when it was inducted into the National Recording Registry, a list of sound clips which ‘are culturally, historically, or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States’.

ARE WITCHES REAL (YES)
ADVERTISING USES SPELLS &ENCHANTMENTS
To entice us into continuing consumerisms...
Politicians use word magic to bribe votes
to help them win elections.We all use WISHCRAFT
when desiring things to glow our way.Our world is formed
by INTENTION APPLIED-like AFFIRMATIONS EMPOWERED by WILLPOWER today.
Ancient as our use of speech,song,sound and silence,
to attune to a world that has its own feng shui.We learn
by listening,watching,absorbing ,applying what wisdom we imbibe
by following a more Natural Way-to grow,adapt and stay
within the cornucopia of The Way.Everything is Hear and Know,
Absorb ,Connect,Extend and Play.Consciousness always grows this way...

...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.
