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?"

VISUAL HISTORIES
GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARIE KONDO
We accrue, with interest. Invest in our many lives.
Books,photographs,stories,friendships,Light
that Remains with us as we decline-it Rises Up!
You have given her away before-but now she comes back!
Your creative works-here they Resurrect.Photos of family,friends
who may no longer be here-but their stories remain. Floods
of times of joy and sadness crowd for your limited attention.
Space must be made for Future Memories. OUT WITH THE OLD!
..but you love them. They are Companions. They love you ,too,
even if time, life and distance limits their hugs and cuddles.
They are part of you. They enrich your existence. They are you...

...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.
