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?"
PRIMACY OF ORACY
You say silence punctuates
Life before,during and after
I say -'Speech is Laughter!"
Esperanto of shared values
Sustainer of communities
Rhetoric and declamation
As reported in Shakespearean speeches
Via Churchill,Kennedy,Orson Welles=
not yet a lost art(just malingering
Turn away from your Smartphones!
Close your eyes and listen..First to silence,
next to Nature,amplified.Find the rhythm of birdsong,
splash of fish plop,haiku of lightning truth
You will be ready to listen deeply
You may then dare to speak..Richly..
