"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?
DIG IT
DIG DEEPER!
SEAMUS HEANEY DIGS IT
The Diggers dug it
My father dug graves
(a useful digging)
And i dig word music
The way it sways like waves away
Takes us to spaces high and starry nights
You say Earth is here to stay
I play with everything in touch/much
is left to your imagination.I was a bartender in Quilpie
Opal miners would come in, pay for their beer with opal scratches
Glints of colors thin as anorexics/still enough for liquidity
Sometimes, it is not the depth of your search
More the willingness of the hunted to surrender
that allows one to avoid digging deeper
Just linger longer —waiting for Icarus to fall
Deeper..
