"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!!"

SALAMANDERS OF SAN MARCOS!
(Wake The Dead!)
On Ranch Road 12,on First Thursdays,Jonathon convenes a
gathering
where
all poets(alive and living)might share what wisdom dead poets may
bring
Rilke
was heard-Ginsberg,Ferlinghetti,Bukowsky-Hafiz and William Blake
Original
lines of pain shared time with diamond minds sparkling
Notebooks
and diaries were plundered and rendered
to
offer up food for thought for the hungry.They were devoured
with
panache and aplomb!Three rounds and only time left the room
Round
Robin Rules-one poem,one song.Minimum ornamentation,minimal
introduction.
Third
round a speed one as WAKE THE DEAD was closing(@10pm
Next
Month=July 4th-their first theme reading(AMERICA!)
Intelligent,active
,aware minds attuned to each other/uncovered and discovered
common
lovers of lilt of languages in laughter.San Marcos never the same
after
We
will return-perhaps to participate in TANTRA's Sunday night poetry
salon/soiree
San
Marcos sings!in Springs (of inspiration)Salamander minds on fire seek waters of
influences
Dive
in!Waters deep and flowing!Summer is here and the time is right-to WAKE THE DEAD
First Thursday Nights!
