THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling 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 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!!" (The wondrous poetpic is by Jack M



GREAT AMERICAN HAIKU

there is this woman

Dickens,Mark Twain her mentors

writing Chapters Now!

DREAMLAND.Contents+one

You need to finish dreaming

before writing more

Novel Characters

Everywhere you go,follow!

(they have their own will)

Who reads novels now?

Trash and junk airport sales

slip between covers

This writing of yours?

Did you steal from your friends' lives?

or is it your own?

Bukowsky is dead

Only his words survive him

Same will be for us!

Dumpster diving in

Exploiting weaknesses seen

Watching,witnessing

Most will not write this

Fewer will want to read it

Yet we still exist

Our lives between lines

What we do is important

Only to ourselves

Most books still unread

Many more will be written

Unsold and unread

Still,these witnesses

of these times we live within

Your eyes still reading...
