THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, 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 within 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?"

BUT I HAVE

WALKED THOSE YORKSHIRE HILLS

Ate(with you)a Yorkshire Pudding

And dialects make languages interesting

To speak Yorkshire,one must love Yorkshire

Hard love of work and beer,family and poverty

All of value having been taken from

like coal  as work,truth as jobs,joy as floods

Similar more to Native American,who can no longer

run with the bison,nor hunt in the wild,must protest pipelines

that steal water and drip oil profits.Yorkshire as South Dakota?

Not so far fetched.It is what we grew with that we love

What we love is what will save us.Every Body Dreams

All Dreams derive from the One Great Dreaming..

As in Yorkshire,so in Texas..over time zones..
