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?"

MORNING RAIN
3 am this morning
Darkness and Alexa
warns of rain all day
I walk outside to check
For i love rain in all her moods
Gentle foggy mists Lake District
Grizzly drizzle Yorkshire
Cute Cornwall droplets
All her many languages
This early morning kissed our new plants
Lifted their green faces to the skies
Added moisture to the dusts of pasts
For every rain is new/original
Every drop a kiss upon the face
So i walked out like Laurie Lee
I walked out like Jack Kerouac
I walked out while drops plopped around me
And i am smiling because of it

...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.
