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?

PROVISIONAL REPUBLICS
HER PAIN DEFINES
Limited movement.
Less time.

EVERY BODY HAS A BAG OF TIME
with a hole.

CERTAINTY OF ARCHITECTURE
(&demolition)

ALL LOVE IS LODGED TIME
like rock in shoe.

THIS DUST?IT IS YOUR PAST
These leaves?Tomorrows.

SOMEONE NAMED THESE STARS
(So far away.So cold)

PATCHWORK
Our lives.Our quilts.

BROLGA.BLUE HERON.FLAMINGO
Anorexics.

YOUR MIRROR NEEDS ANOTHER MIRROR
To reflect upon

COUNTING STARS
Until morning comes.

BIRDS KNOW
We need their glow!

EMOTIONS WAIT
For meditations.To end.

...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.
