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 KNOW YOU WANT TO BE GREEN

I know you want to blossom and bloom

despite politics and morbid headlines

despite the doom and gloom of daily economics

So you can!You have PERMISSION TO BE ALIVE!

To be bright,effusive,delightful and delighted

To beam as personal sunlight for all who need warmth

And this will start other miniature solar powered individuals

Who will leave their dark sided moons and their Mercury Retrogrades

And connect ,compound,converge in happiness

as naive as hope and hospitality

As powerful as that nuclear reactor in our skies

Wanting to be green and verdant is a start

Now-make your life your Art!
