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?"


INSECURITY,UNCERTAINTY,FRAGILITY
So a founding member of Kraftwerk dies
So each day is an emergent miracle
Events personal,political,poetical compound
So each day is unique and Universal
So she knows we lack the sense of touch
So she put her hand to the screen and asked
each person watching to hold on(YOU ARE NOT ALONE)
Then she read poems for her mother(in honor and respect)
And we convene on Skype and Zoom and Webex
because we honor,treasure and respect each other
Expanding the Circle of Light that enfolds us
Larger than Super Moon above us tonight
And Every Moment of our lives starts to Shine
And we @ease,in this-our only time..

...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.
