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?"

LORETTA DIANE WALKER
All the time we knew her
She was in pain(from cancer)
Her spirit always bright and positive
Her poetry of truth and enlightening
She taught and loved her students into learning
She our West Texas nomination for Texas Poet Laureate
Also Pushcart Nominee,feted,admired,respected in all poetic communities
Her smile warm and inviting -whether at Waco Word Fest,or on ZOOM
She would light up each room with her bright joy.
Whenever she was asked about her condition,she would smile ,and say-
"I am doing o k.Thank you for asking.."Now we hold her in Light
She gave her very best to us in this Life..

...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.
