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?"

SIZE MATTERS
When we were Arabic-saw the  stars as doorways
Greek-saw the stars as ceilings,able to be plucked like apples
Moon owned by poets(and Wallace and Gromit-and aliens)
Only when we sent a dog into space did we realize
how strange and dark and unfriendly deep space was
Gustav Holst and GONG and HAWKWIND soundtracks
Deep Space Whisper with Gilli Smyth-sing a long!
We sent Gold Records past the sun to contact aliens
They have different formats in divergent galaxies and constellations
Then came NASA (pre-SPACE-X ,pre-SPACE FORCE)
With ideas plundered from STAR TREK and (sadly)STAR WARS
Now we go beyond HUBBLE into the WEBB
We have become tinier the further our telescopes go
We learn more but know less about totalities,so
I go back to star gazing at night,looking for meteors,asteroids,flashes of light
to illuminate our moving diorama skies-in our collective space flight..

GONZO TRACK OF THE DAY: 1 Hour of Ukrainian Catholic Church Choir

Being Sunday I always post sacred music. The name of the deity may change, or even the deity Him/Herself but the spirit remains the same. For the moment, however, each Sunday the music will be from the Ukraine.

Gonzo Weekly #509/10

Gonzo Weekly #509/10

THE FALL ISSUE
This magazine continues to go off on strange tangents that I never expect, but I am very happy to see it do so. What is in this issue? 120 pages of Kula Shaker, Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss, Citizen Nuggz, Alan’s New Music/Old Music, By The Power of Rock, Cosi Fanni Tuti, The Gardening Club and oodles more...
And there are radio shows from Mack Maloney and Friday Night Progressive, AND Merrell Fankhauser, Mr Biffo, Puls8 Radio (cancelled), and the Real Music Club, AND Strange Fruit, there is a column from Kev Rowland, and C.J Stone but Mr Biffo, and Neil Nixon, are on hiatus. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and dibblers who have got the blues (OK, nothing to do with tiny marsupials who are listening to the new Bob Dylan album, but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at. And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!
..And the last few issues are:
All issues from #70 can be downloaded at www.gonzoweekly.com if you prefer. If you have problems downloading, just email me and I will add you to the Gonzo Weekly dropbox. The first 69 issues are archived there as well. Information is power chaps, we have to share it!

WE ARE MADE OF WATER
Tides of emotions moon our bodies
Float we through waves ,rising,falling
Liquefy our troubles,hydrate our tears
Let flow emotions,so they can swim
into deeper oceans than our islands' rigidities
Drink in the fierce fires of our blocks
Burn down those wooden walls of separation
Set fire to the past,so thin canoes
can surf through these heated times
And we can rest,lagoons and lakes
Cooled,chilled,like Robert Frost-
"When it comes to fire and ice
Make me cool as ice,cold enough
to warn a wintry world-wonders are awaiting.."

SURPRISED BY LOVE & COMPASSION
SURPRISED MORE BY THE FACT
that she had to chase down the loud black angry man
(She is black ,too-this is not a race issue..
I was astonished at this!The fact that she got in her car and shouted out to him..
I had assumed it was to berate him for his verbal violences..
No!It was to gift him with all she had-in a miracle of gladness and goodwill
She laughed as she told me this before she drove away
I do not know why i was a witness-but i know this..
We will all meet up in the morning at the food pickup
Her,him,me,Gwen and maybe Dreamer-Jason has been missing
Something in the laughter of the oppressed.Something vital
in their kindness to each other.Something living,loving,gentle..
When even the volunteers are jaded ,the living line up
for the physical food-and the goodwill and gladness of their company..

You of hallucinatory art on the columns in the Reign of Ruta Maya
You of Eternal Color-In Parties and tie-dye bearded fashions
You return to us post-Lazydaze Thursdays,now ensconced in Captain Quackenbush
You write in your tiny notebook diamond facet smiles
But you came to be with us-to talk again,share stories of busts and beauty
Post-Colorado Rainbow Festival ,with cops black-taping their badges,
Colluding with corrupt HIGH TIMES clientele in these strange daze..
It is only when the poetry writing is over that we get to share in depth
How you were worried you had lost your art,your mind,your speech
You used to outwit the Blue Meanies with your crystal clear intelligence
Now your speech is slow,you are terrified of driving.What to do?
FOCUS IN THIS MOMENT-how far you are from lost
BUILD UPON YOUR SKILLS-Retrieve what you can,lower expectations
CLING TO THOSE WITH WHOM YOU SHARE YOUR HOPES
Afternoon is evening.We part to meet again.Welcome home to South Austin,Fonty!
MAY YOUR PARTY NEVER END..

ACKNOWLEDGMENT
IN COOL MORNINGS(BEFORE 106 DEGREE DAYS)
Citizens of the Inter-Dependent Republic of South Austin
Many of whom are led forth by their tethered  dogs
Walk,stroll,perambulate,promenade
along the thin hot streets of the South.Here,trees
are as old and retired as their "owners"-but the tree canopy
covers  widely(as there are no footpaths).So we meet en passant
wave,smile,nod or gently affirm each other's existences..
Thosewhodonotlivehere  drive roughly fast down the 25 mph lanes
and are waved down by dog-and -children owners walking..
Peace before the blast iron furnace day heats up.We wave
to acknowledge each other.This is the way..

There is a hunky-dory, all singing, all dancing, Gonzo Publications website is now pretty well done, although there are still nine authors who need personal pages. You can find it at www.gonzopublishers.com and then tell me what a clever fellow I am. It even has a haiku to explain why some links are not finished:

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?"

...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.
