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 AM AN OX(THIS IS MY YEAR)
Have plod plod plodded on for so many years
Understand the importance of duty and continuity as poetry
is but the outline of energies that tread on Sacred Grounds
and carry the weight of witnessing consistency through crises.
Fields of flowers or killing fields? Flowers please-o !and weeds!
Choice is pivotal when Chinese?Confucian?or Communist?
Confucian please,with extra added philosophies!
Li Po sitting ,fishing for Infinities.Time is a fly,buzzing.
One swat could end us all. Ox ploughs Aum.
Brueghal.W.H.Auden.Through Icarus/Armageddons
to possibilities of temporary perfections.One ploughed field with no straight lines.
One Year-when every moment is an intersection,and no thought need ever collide.
