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?"

WHAT DO SEASONS TEACH US?
APART FROM ALMANCS FOR PLANTING CROPS
Ages of woman-puer/puella to seniorem-
Pulsing child,nymph,damsel,lass,mother,grand-,elder-
Pulse of air,water,blood,moon,land.Earth knows-
Cycles recycle us.We are as Seasons flow
So in this Fall ,we are leaf bound,wind scattered
We are tree and limb ,branch and trunk
We are those rings that denote age 
And the passing of stages of our primal growth
Some of us are lopped,broken branched
Some of us crack under the stress of storms
Some have roots deep underground
Where we commune with clear consciousness
Among those who share these seasons 
We breathe the same air,drink the same waters
Follow parallel passages life ,death,rebirth,resurrection
We are part of the cycles we were born into
Like trees,water,earth,fire,air-We continue..
Learning as we glow..

...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.
