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?
SWEET BREATH OF GRASS AND FOREST
DEEP EARTH &BRIGHT BLUE
SKY
We stole your radiance for
rhymes
Truth and Nature we deny.Of
course-Wordsworth ,Mary Oliver
vs Bukowski/Beats&Punks..but even
Beat was Beatific
And PiL dressed in rainbows.Steam from
a warmed Lake.
Fog on a morning river.Birds land in
sewage ponds.
We sing cities.Morality can wait/upon
Creation and our Fate
does not depend upon red
wheelbarrows,nor refrigerator plums.
What happens next may be an antidote or
panacea
Do not give up on hope.
