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!!"

CONCRETE POETRY

Cracks me up!Anarchist grass splits apart

the envelope of controlled rectangles.Little plants

are weeds to some-life to insects,

seeking reprieve from violated feng shui

Chernobyl showed .Fukushima glows.Future mutants

in the tuna flow.All that is green may be an advertising dream.

Painted.Perfect.Photoshopped.Nature is a Brand Name.

Natural is a Product(Placement).Now- shift that mountain!

So we can get a better view of the skyline

and those space age skyscrapers

crumbling..
