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?"

TONIGHT @THE UNION OF POETS READING ON ZOOM
PATRICIA FISKE OF 93 ENTERED THE ROOM
Geoffrey read from STORIES I COULD NOT TELL MY CHILDREN
after reading from her BOOK OF TREES
Birdman shared pix of Patricia's 90th Birthday Party
Geoffrey then read a poem dedicated to the first time he met her
Now Patricia Fiske is a LIVING WORK OF ART
Adored by that wandering healer John Hawk
who is driving from North Carolina as we type
to drum with her in her journey between worlds
Sharon Stuart will come to sing with her
For is not song the perfect way to share the air?
And poems will be written,and love will be expressed
For we love Life and rarely speak of death
But tonight had a focus and a fierceness of intent-
to honor Patricia while she is still among us
before the gods and goddesses call her
back to her Origins..

...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.
