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?"

YOUR BODHI TEMPLE
PERHAPS CRUSTY,RUSTY,DUSTY
Perhaps cranky,lanky,skanky
Maybe timorous to move in dance
For fear of fall or breaking down
This life our harbor ,sometimes walled
Like Jericho ,will fall/when we SHOUT!
Call out our limits ,demanding more
Than we were capable of before.
For time and age are limits,too
(We can no longer do what we used to..
And caution now,within our limits
Defines our chosen perambulations
We will get there when we will
This is our only Holy Body...Until...

...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.
