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?"

YOU HAVE A FRIEND IN BOOKS

They wait for you to see

Not so much in e(books)

nor computer screen

It is the feel of weight within your hands

The choice of turning page

or standing ,sipping,meditating

upon a felicitous turn of phrase

that delights with a piquancy

rewarded in frequency

There should be FREQUENT READER AWARDS

for those who delve beyond the YAHOO,YOUTUBE&the GOOGLE

You who read this now-know what i mean.

Reading is Heaven.
