"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?
FLATLANDERS
Those who left West Texas
Came to Austin,Texas
as musicians and artists
ready for the Hill Country
Willing to adapt with alacrity
To leave the dust and desolation
Seek clear artistic communication
Forming circles and bands with ease
From little towns to the Big City
To A- Town from W T
