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?" 

GBH

LOVING "GET CARTER"

and that electric noir syle

his last epic GBH-so cinematic in style

every chapter brief as breath

BUT it is good to know

the depiction of the Northern crime scene

was written by a writer in the North

the depiction of an alcoholic main character

may well be based upon a certain alcoholic writer

BUT he was productive

and his style still works

concise as violence

NOT a retro of the 60s nor 70s

just written by one who lived in those times

speaking the truth in brief bright red lines..

So when it comes to writing for FAME or CASH

simple is as simple reads-make mine TRASH!
