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)

Re: two pale white doves shade in the desert garden
IT HAS BEEN RAINING FOR TWO DAYS
It is Autumn-rain and cold are expected
But nothing is predictable.Storms sweep through
wind torn trees/broken fences/clouded light

 Emerging from shadows between houses,one deer
sniffing the air,hesitant.Then another.Finally,a thin line of 11
Slowly threading suburban lawns -a caravan of pilgrims
