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?

"MEMORY IS AN UNRELIABLE WITNESS/MISTRESS"
EMOTIONAL MEMORIES RUN DEEP
as seismic shifts in consciousness.
Passion red and orange warning
Green smoke and blues by morning
Color coded rainbow festivals
better than black and white and gray
Rituals and repeating pleasures
like a cup of tea in your teabag kitchen
or a conversation that goes on forever
These things remain-more than items and inventories
And we may forget some,but others are as close
as icebergs to Titanics.,Cornwall to Huddersfield..

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
