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 Thom'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?"

BOOKS OVER BOMBS!

BETWEEN THE COVERS BETTER THAN UNDER THE COVERS

Cowering from another bomb that is as anonymous as death

Life lives in your Imagination-the only -Nation that needs no visas

When reading,we are transported out of dull prose

into flights of fancy that CAN IMAGINE PEACE,GARDENS,SANCTUARY

even when the world is torn apart by wars and brutal violence

books are a refuge,a hope,a trust,a mode of making peace

via learning all the positive possibilities.Excuse me now-

it is time for me to write my Great Baghdad Epic Novel

called ON THE BOOK BUS!
