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?"

ALL MY CATS ARE FERAL
THEY ONLY STAY FOR FOOD(&AFFECTION)
My latest and last cat was the very last cat at the Refuge
No one wanted TOOTS-she snarled and snapped and hissed and bit
anyone who dared to come close..So we said -"THAT'S OUR CAT!"
To survive in this Modern World ,all cats need be indoor/outdoor
They need to be able to survive eating grass and drinking rainwater
In times,when we are away,we leave a mountain of food(which she ignores)
Return,find her curled up on computer desk,cat content when stroked
You may have seen her on ZOOM rooms-she often flaunts her tail
when leaping away from tendentious poetics.She listens intently-
comes close to the screen when Native American flutes are playing,
walks away when words lack magic or Muse.They say the size of a cat's brain is a pea..
But a cat is whole body attentive from tip of ears to tap of tail.TOOTS is alive,alert-
a lesson for us-that we are not her "owners "as such-just her students in CAT WORLD..

...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.
