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?"

RIVER ROCKS TO GEODES
Stones and rocks and pebbles
Each with weight ,magic,gravity
To be weighed as ancient currency
Strung around our pendant necks
Art of rocks as Towers and as Pyramids
You are attracted to specific stones
Whether petrogylphs or rock carvings
Meaning is inscribed as Rosetta Stones
Inscriptions on rock wall faces for Ages
Stones carry messages ,skimmed on waters
Rock remains,as music for generations
Diamonds,rubies,emeralds,opals-
Many languages,one Earth Tone.
Our Earth Rock our only home...

...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.
