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?"

Where Presidential Candidates use their rest room time to chime on Instagram

There are no Beatles anymore.John Lennon got the bullet not the Nobel bomb.He turned in his MBE.

And even the 60s have few in their sixties to celebrate with Janis and Jimi and Jim gone

only Leonard Cohen remains ,releasing new material on the world's burning stages..

Maybe his novels and stories and poetry might find favor?Perhaps when

he falls down/closer to Heaven.Maybe Zen.!Hallelujah!
