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?"
FOUND A MAN DIGGING IN AN IRISH FIELD
Q:"WHAT ARE YOU DIGGING FOR?"
A:Seamus Heaney.@the Blarney Stone,
Guide shared they piss on it before the tourists kiss.
Dublin so English,drives one Westward Ho!
Seas surround us.Invaders within us.Gaelic Resurgence.
More out of Ireland than Inn.Starved to America,England,Australia.
Abbey Theater.Like Latin,frozen.Feelings so deep we have no new words.
Who writes in the Book of Kells?Irish Monasteries.Marginalia.
Cursed by Catholicism.Unresolved Border dilemmas.
Yearning,crying,sorrow,song-waves licking at coastlines.
Emotions are true for moments.We forget.Remember pain.
Sometimes,thin soup sorrow turns bright sun green mornings.
Sometimes,even shadows,transform into Light.
