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?"

"PREPARE TO BE CORRECTED"

In life,as  in observation,i have been wrong

I see illusion as a necessary stage(Belief,too-

To be corrected by another view-as in a bee's eyes(or a fly),or Editor's Proof..

RASHOMON.THE USUAL SUSPECTS.MEMENTO.THE MATRIX(RESURRECTION)

Film(with Eisensteinian editing).Surrealism.Art.Hyperbole.IMagination-

all allow Expanding Uni-verses beyond prosaic description..

Metaphor.Leaps of Fate.Basho PLOP!Rumi-"I'll meet you there!"

Conversing with Sappho,Heraclitus,Rabelais,Cervantes,Kabir,Bertrand Russell-

and then there are the living-those exemplars of Modern Knights Templar

Science and Astronomy boost alchemy ,philosophy,astrology/

You have more tools -Hubble,Webb..Maths and scientific method..

Process of discovery.Unfolding Lotus.Stained graffiti.Georgia O'Keefe with Colette.

Poetry as music.Jazz.Dance.Spontaneity.Improvisations.As in life-

we do not know.Best to approach with a child sense of wonder..
