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 McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)

IMAGINARY IMAGES
BEFORE US-Cave art/icon/yantra/circle/spiral/ellipsis
As we seed sprout-straight lines,squares,rectangles
Project dams on curling rivers,munitions on curling smoke fire
Roman M1 Fortress Wall Empires Sword Shield Siege
Crusade Jihad Fatwa Papal Bull Wittenberg Theses
Stick Lance Arrow Pike Gun Barrel Pistol Bomb
Images faster now-still life mural drawings sketch painting photograph
Motion picture slide show Power Point projection 3D holograms/printing
Dolly sheep clone DNA Split Atom Particle Accelerator
Deep space dark matter dark space anti-matter
Man on moon Cameras on Mars Hubble Telescope Space Station
All rise!All fall!Are we cyclic after all?Poles reverse as before

Evolution?or not @all?

...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.
