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?"

SUDDENLY,I AM GETTING EMAILS FROM THE MOON
I hope my replies do not "bounce back"
as i have always been a MOON MAN,
even when flirting with SUMMER SUNSHINE..
Moon and sun have a thing going-Light and Heat
They live apart,for if they lived together-where would WE live?
They seem to have a good things going(as far as i can feel)
One heats our climate and blames global warming
The other inspires lunatics and poets(a question of degree)
It is a long-distance relationship-you just can not send a satellite to the sun
The moon,on the other hand,offers green cheese,and speaks Chinese.
I know Pink Floyd is broadcasting LIVE from The Dark Side
where Syd Barrett screams THE MADMAN LAUGHS to emptiness
but these emails deserve a response..Can YOU reply to them?
I am busy in this summer rain/sun syndrome..
Solar flares are disturbing my Internet..
GOOD LUCK!

...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.
