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?"
SOME PEOPLE I CANNOT RELEASE
YOU,IN DIRECT CONVERSATION
All these books that demand attention
I return,to learn,their divergent expressions
Hold Rumi with Mary Oliver,Henry Miller with Bukowski
Even unite Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath /Tess Gallagher with Raymond Carver
My shelves still creak with John le Carre
Many moving mysteries-Tony Hillerman,Dick Francis
You do not have to be famous to hold my attention
You are preferred as book more than film.Noir more than epic.
You are held in high esteem if i must read,then re-read(even in translation)
You will not be released,until all your secrets are revealed
Prepare for many more lifetimes,as this conversation continues
Every path is a beginning-let us talk the walk..
