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?
TONIGHT I WENT OUT TO MEET THE MOON
TONIGHT I WENT OUT TO MEET THE MOON
BUT WHAT I SAW WAS A RED STAR
Pulsing as close as astronomical miles
could glow
No wonder others saw canals and red
dust aliens
Projecting science fiction upon our
obvious planet
There is a camera on Mars as i type
this to you
Movies have been made-wide screen and
obvious
But none of them have the power this
pulsating planet has
None of them have come this close(apart
from Mother Moon
and we have been to her and put our
boots upon her face
Mars eludes us-comes close in this
planetary dance
rarely but well/just close enough to be
alluring
Just far enough away from the range of
our SPACE FORCE weapons..
