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?"

EXTREME WEATHER ALERTS

Blare out from all devices

I still seek to WAKE THE DEAD in San Marcos

Jaime Torres has confirmed that it is ON and not outdoors

So the fragility of our poetic eco-system is preserved

If all logistics are to be honored..LIVE poetry readings will return

Dependent upon weather and the goodwill of venue Managers..

Wednesday's CHERRYWOOD COFFEEHOUSE blooms with clear weather,

as might TABLEROCK POETRY FESTIVAL April 29 in Salado

Indoor open mics are no problem.Our need to gather and confer is paramount.

ZOOM rooms conquer distance but dilute intimacy.Conversation is curtailed..

Poetry is an all-weather event  for all ages..We need to hear and see and be with each other.

Driving to San Marcos found ten poets circling the Muse.Thank you Jaime !

Thank you WAKE THE DEAD managers!..May every Gathering be as Blessed!
