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?"

SOLAR POWERED BY DAY.MOONLIGHT BY NIGHT
Stars illumine our eyes.Pathways of sight.
But darkness of Solstice.TURN UP YOUR INNER LIGHT!
Warm fires replaced by electric lights.
Trail of lights?or Peppermint Parkway?
Seasons of Illuminations both personal and collective
Find us at the crossroads,asking  Astrologers-
Which way to Austin?(Our New Bethlehem-
where Illuminations by Street Lights are best profited
between Community and Commercial concerns/choices..
Trail of lights is free for 7 of 14 nights
Peppermint Parkway is a Drive-through  ,costing lots
But i rejoice in our South Austin homes blinking bright
and visit our Annual 37th Street Lights-a FREE drive (or walk)through
which only asks for donations for lights that shine so bright each night
Once,near Uluru,i saw Art of Illuminations-40,000 solar powered lights dotting the landscape
I ,instead,stared up at the Outback Heavens,delighted by Nature's overwhelming FREE illuminations...

...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.
