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?"
WE GIVE OUR THANKS TO ROBERT BLY
Who gave us Rumi in translation
Who opposed the Vietnam&Iraq wars poetically
Who founded the Men's Movement to deal with violence via drumming
Who read haiku twice(with no titles)
Who encouraged many to embrace International poetry
Who wore bright waistcoats and was charismatic
Whose wife shone with him in her own light
Both were Carrirsr of Light and Joy and Happiness
Only one whose name will be remembered
Yet-she LIVES!and that gift is worth more than words
LONG LIVE EVERY POET YOU HAVE EVER HEARD!
