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?"

NIGHT CREATURES
We are star children/moon people
We LIKE to be out at night
when the stars shine bright
and the moon is a fickle scimitar
(or round as a Buddha-
When you say"morning"-poet time'
is Midnight to Dawning,so creation
takes place when the world is sleeping
Our dreaming is public,conceived privately
We wake,and take another day under advisement
Dreams are our language,and we speak as well as listen
to all that moves us every evening
So-YES to the walk by starlight and moon glow
YES!-to the bicycle ride .May we know 
what each moment holds,by perambulating
around the imperfectly possible..

...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.
