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 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!!" 

 URBS ROMANTICA
THE CITY IS HISTORY
7 layers of Troy,Seven Hills of Rome
The Glory That Was Greece,Lost Londinium
Washington's Crime rate,Chicago Fires,
Austin's traffic/Festivals,Houston's mosquitoes
Still clumps and convoys,seeking Paradise
Yellow Brick Road or How Green Was My Valley?
Urbs vs Rural.Young  leave 4 Bright Lights,Big City
Where everyone is anonymous,but you can be somebody
Every day-antsnest,beaver dam,high rise,crime rate

Harder they come,softer they fall.One and 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.
