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?"

R U SEEING COLORS YET?

COLORS WILL BE BRIGHTER NOW

THEY SMILE PRE-SURGERY

All the witnesses and participants

Affirm its mortal coil

But life is revivified via fantasy

and reality is a failed poem

Every body smiles and say

"Yes!I did it and was glad"

but my Superman Syndrome has 

dents and scratches and hail damage

How long before i can see to drive?

I will not lift nor bent ,nor email

Samson Agonistes in the Temple of Milton

Homer,Jose Feliciano,George Shearing,Stevie Wonder-

I used to dwell on projected fantasies

that life could be better IF ONLY WE..

but doctors deal in facts and seeing these

is the true question post-surgery

So if my absence is a ghost

and the world glows on in brighter colors

Know that i only wish to see like this-Brightness of a Living Paradise...
