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?"
HOW CAN THIS BE?(
for Daphne du Maurier)
I AM IN THE COT VALLEY
Penanwell,Cornwall
And all the stones are egg-shaped
I stand upon those rocks
With the stolidity of wave /tidal time
In much the same way
as in Merlin's Cave
when the tide rushed in
And we were almost swept away
Cornwall calls us (like Pirates of Penzance)
Dancing lights attract ships that crash
Cargoes smashed to feed the watchers
This is the way it has always been-
Life attracts life.Beauty attracts beauty.
