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?"

LINGUA LAUGHTER
WE WISH TO SPEAK
Taught/trained to be silent
Will you silence the birds in the sky?
WE WISH TO SING
Entertainment is an industry
No village fairs or amateur hours
Hence to open mics and Meet-ups
WE WISH TO MEET
but this plague of fear constricts
ZOOM is not enough
WE WISH TO LIVE,AND LAUGH
We don't need a license
We listen to the birds
and sing and dance with them
