"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 and 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!!"

HOW 2 RITE (a sonnet)
BEGIN WITH YR DREAMS
Always a seed within-
an idea or a feeling
that needs expressing
Let the words find you
when you picture your truth
(different to all others-
unique as you..
Now,when it comes to rhythm and
rhyme
Let it be natural.Let it flow in its own
time
Forced verse is a forced march of
prisoners
You speak as you write(in truly FREE
verse!)
Do not worry if the world disagrees with
ye-
the true purpose of poetry is to be
free!
