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?"

NOVELS,NOVELLAS,MEMOIRS,PULP FICTION
LIFE AS A DIARY MILKED FOR ADVENTURES
Every day a new page,ribald,uncensored
Splash of colors among the pale ,gray,wan
White among the snow of critical opinions
Outside,wild winds strip trees of leaves
Inside,my fire diary heats with ease
i sleep and float through Virginia Woolf rivers
Stones in my pockets and in my head
Rattling vibrations of the un-felt,unsaid
If i can spill these aromatic oils upon these wave pages
I will not need to demur,withdraw from public stages
There is only lettuce life,sliced,diced,served up
Our onion lives have many layers/levels of laughter non-plussed
I pick up another random book to steal ideas from-and laugh!

...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.
