"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 Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, 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 with in 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? why not indeed!!"

PRE-SPRING
sliding down February,past St Valentine and Mardi Gras
green
buds announce the birth of pre-Spring
Cool
winds ,blue skies,gardens
paint
perfect pictures framed by clouds
Bright
chill defines daylight-night means stars and silences
Dreams
dance in colored lights and fragrant memories
soon
it will be Spring.Green.St Patrick's Day.Festivals
Soon
poetry will arise again on lips still winter sealed
Birds
will awaken dormant unlocked melodies
Speech
will be brief/harmonic.Haiku breaths.Sonnet songs
We
are perched upon the edge of articulation
May
warmth restore our circulation/end isolation
Bring
manifestation to miracle proportions
Allow
outdoors to enjoy all elemental perambulations
Entering
sunshine as if it were no longer a foreign language on our
tongue!
