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?"

YOU DO NOT KNOW THESE WORDS
HUMMINGBIRD
(does not know these words..
Have seen them quivering honey sweet seeking
Delicate as filigree
Small as portable Paradises
The flitter of tiny wings sustaining gravities
You remind me of thirsty angels
Dipping in Golden.
i do believe you are on a secret Sacred Mission
You have a Visa to all flowers
Your beak as curved as a judge
You drink from powers
more liquid than your love
and sustain yourself
by the flutter and vibration
'that keeps you
Above
No word you need
Just wings and feathers,a small body,a beak
That curls into the core of flower
and drinks like alcoholic
Your vibrations sustain you
You see the Deep
We watch, amazed
Your wings
Like pigeons and sparrows i suppose
Defined by generic
no individualities
You are seen by these
your function
Your form
Never do we know
Your name
Your Number
Your Destiny
vs gravities
We love you
when, close to us
we see your quivering
your tiny wings
Like bees-how can you sustain your gravities?
Beauty in the seeking
In the dipping of your long curved beak
You investigate the Mystery of Pollen
Drink Deep, O Golden One
You carry Honey for the Gods..

...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.
