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?"

AND AFTER THE TORNADO WATCH

And the wild wind watch

And the Severe Weather Alert

Our Fall Garden was flooded

Our Little Free Library was wettened

Dark clouds had moved on

And a bright Autumn Sun

Which means i left you at the computer

and went out (with sunblock and hat on'

To sip the last of the afternoon sunshine

Is that just like the world?

To challenge us with wild ways

Leaving us calm and tranquil after

all the emotional storms have moved on

to someone else-to somewhere else...
