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?"
RUSSELL THE RADICAL RANDALLS POET
"I KNOW YOU!"
"I KNOW YOU,TOO!"(from venues(pre-Covid lockdown)
I look at his Randalls name badge-RUSSELL
His mask is slipping with excitement
He is packing our groceries while reciting his rhyme
"You see, i do not write anything down-
just get inspired and crystallize feelings
Pour them into instant rhyme.. Like this one..
He chants while packing. His Manager Susan is watching
I am listening ,enchanted.I forget to pay. Begin to walk away-HEY!
i wake up. Insert the credit card in the machine. Russell had kidnapped me into his dream..
I remind him the only living venue is Kick Butt Sunday Nights..He smiles,still packing,dreaming..
In many lives and venues we have shared time ,poems,stages.Today ,his stage is Randalls.
I pay ,smile and watch as his mask falls,again..He is happy as a rainbow,beaming..
