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?"

CORNWALL IS MAGICKAL
Penzance to St.Austell
Seas,rocks,sun,sand,art
make the Cornish folk a smiling bunch..
Friends of friends know and laugh
with the essential ,intrinsic joy of life.
So we were privileged to be 
with Marjory James of Tywardreath
on her Community Radio Program (St.Austell)
Delightful, positive-a Spring of Green Light-
She welcomed us always as long as we liked
to be with her on her positive poetry radio show
So we shared time and goodwill ,and all that we know
is Marjory as a Source of Light, beaming strong
but even radio signals flicker out and Aum..
We all live on Health's sandcastle front lines
and our lives are determined by the roll of the tides
So Marjory is gone-but her goodwill remains
You can still hear her smiling -when you listen to the waves
Radio waves ,that is, poetry/community radio
and those other waves that came-and lifted her away

...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.
