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?"

FRIENDS ALL TRY IT &PRAISE IT
Some have withdrawn entirely from Fakebook
Others will not Internet,nor text,nor Tweet
Me?I need to share poetry-so seek communities
where i can reach and connect via technology.
Even the air is a medium-so i sing and shout
Earth is another one-so i move and dance
I move through moments but cannot stop
Reaching out to people who are of cultural significance
That means you.Thank you for reception.
If i went cold turkey.Silence.Cistercian.
Friends would urge me Benedictine/Franciscan
This world is a Monastery where we are all learning.
Any wonder i can only achieve-intermittent fasting?

...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.
