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?"

I HAVE A LOVE FOR ALL THINGS ARTIFICIAL
Unnatural colors of icecream and sweets
that have no place in the natural world
Bold, bright ,iridescent blues that shine like phosphorescence
adorning cupcakes or some tempting delicacy...Not so Jello..
Its wobbly horse hoof derived translucence
seems thin soup for my sweet tooth. Hollows that cry out -
SUGAR! SUGAR! SUGAR! are not satisfied with Jello,
so i turn my desires to more substantial desserts
and masticate with rainbow joy, every time i find
a Bakery Shop in some small Texas town..

...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.
