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?"
EMOTIONAL GESTALT UMBRELLA
bent umbrella
i lean into the wind
storm rain pushes back
...umbrellas are like Batman
black and animalistic
raincoats cling skin
so i tote thin wire umbrella
which opens like a parachute
when storms make insides out
Useless when wind torn
i leave my bent umbrella
in the storm where it was born
to be another useless artifact.
Perhaps ,one day,i will learn
what rain does not like,and earn
millions for my anti-rain prevention kit
Umbrellas are useless(we know that)
it does not stop us using them
even when they turn inside out...
umbrella(like new)
THE AVENGERS used them,too
good props for movies..
London in a drought
Still,we walk about the town
Umbrellas in hand..
When the rain storm hits
No umbrella will save you
From getting wind-wet.
