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?"

"GREEN!HOW MUCH I WANT YOU GREEN!(Lorca)
Eden our beginning-So we make New Eden(Cornwall)
Henry Thoreau visited Walden Pond-later we have Walden 2
Japanese Zen stone gardens.English Country Gardens.French Estate Gardens(Monet @Givenchy)
Bucolic poets William Stafford,William Wordsworth,Pierre de Ronsard,
Robert Bly,Wendell Berry,Mary Oliver,Emily Dickinson,Robert Frost,Walt Whitman
One million shades and tones of green and red and golden painted leaves
Trickle of the sound of rippling waters and painted singing birds
Close your eyes..You are in Paradise..Dream in deeper colors.
Blue of sky high.Brown of rich ground low.Green in between Heaven and Hell.
You feel serene.Your breath slower now,deeper.You become garden.
Dream in greens.

...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.
