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?"

ANYWHERE,AT ANY TIME

ideas and emotions hit.They come,uninvited,

requiring space and time to hear them-and to integrate.

Say you are in a restaurant,with a Bukowski inspiration..

You can write them on a cafe napkin..

Say in a Library-on a Library card or bookmark

In a Department Store-haiku on a sales receipt

Inspiration comes anywhere at any time-in the bathtub like Archimedes

Cut it on a bar of soap..@the beach-scrawl it on the sand in seashells..

Location art adapts to landscapes.Graffiti in a prison cell..

Skywriting in an aeroplane.You leave your mark like Keith Haring.

You leave your art like "attributed to Banksy"World will never be the same again..

When your literary environment is your closest friend...
