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?"
CORROBOREES
were gatherings of tribes
in Seasons,when they came together
and danced in patterns /around fire
In deserts that demanded hunting
as a way of survival on the land..
which also needed healing,so fire was used
as "controlled burns"-to chase out food sources
and preserve land from abuse.Healing also came
from the gathering-conversations in diversity
which prevented conflict,and restored harmonies...
None of this is possible now-land is Real Estate,
and bush fires intense as environmental wars..
Why do we not dance together?Listen.and Talk.
Yabba yabba in corroboree might just heal
distances between you-and me.
