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 Tom'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?"
RESCUE REMEDIES
RESCUE REMEDIES
WE RESCUE EACH OTHER(HOLY
IN OUR NEED..
To be rescued returns us/just as

may or may not grow.Know
your rescuer
has compassion fatigue.Each victim
needs
the need to need.We feed upon each
other.
like varieties of predator
species.Glad 2 B!

EYE AM ONE(WITH SPARROWS
& WITH PIGEONS
Mourning doves coo early daylight to
me
There is less difference in
generic
When you see one bird(you
do not see me
Yet,when you hear my bird
call...

LOCATION
Now,eye can only be in one
spot@a time
Try between two
haystacks(starve and die
She lives in Florence and
in Austin
He in San Fran and
our little A-town
Both beam reflections
of adoptions
Adaptations to Two
Towns Gold Names
I can only be here
and now for /with you
Until your eyes turn
away..again..

WHEN EYE GO BACK(LESS IS
LEFT
All moved on(Homes
demolished
(My heart travels with me/it knows
where to stay
Even if i give it freely/it will
not run away)
Yet every evidence and
artifact
of
birth/childhood/adolescence
is somewhere else in a
cloudy haze
Pretending to be memories
days
And what i speak.And what i say
It has moved on also.It
will not stay.

IF WE ARE WATER
IF WE ARE WATER
SOMETIMES WE SINK
Specific as
gravity/density
Oil/tears/weep!Statues
cry
when they imitate Jesus.
Tea Towels with
apparitions
Fevered hallucinations
Every body carries
viruses
stronger than Zika/Ebola
When you fall/fail/decay
We continue on.This is THE
WAY
To fall is to sink beneath the level
of your wings
Open your mouth.Re-learn to
SING!

ANCIENT FOLK IDEAS
RESURRECT!
Fruit trees ,so homeless might pluck
sustenance for free
Planting varieties so no one goes
homeless hungry
We have at least 2000 hungry each
night(more uncounted-
Festival Beach has seeds and sprouts
and saplings rising like hope
like those Tiny Homes /Urban
Farms/Permacultures-as a way out of hardcore death streets
where those pledged to
SERVE&PROTECT prosecute and harass
'It is a crime to be poor when the rich
own the laws"
The answer is Earth .To grow spaces and
places as sanctuary
for those dispossessed by PTSD,broken
families,split minds
or the failure of Social Security to
cover the illegal ,anonymous and unknown.
Tiny houses.Growing food trees.Green
Trust in natural,positive solutions.
Let those windblown apples sustain
us.May the human harvest live longer-
sustained and sheltered ,via Tiny
Hopes-shelter and sustenance..

PLAYLIST: Strange Fruit #161
Strange Fruit is a unique two-hour radio show exploring the world of underground, strange and generally neglected music. All shows are themed and all shows set out to give the most hardened of sound-hounds some new delight to sample.
The show is also unique in providing homework for undergraduate students on North West Kent College’s Foundation Degree in Professional Writing (who dig up many of the odd facts featured in the links between tracks).
Neil Nixon, the founder and co-presenter of the show has released a book about rare albums for Gonzo Multimedia.
The show is broadcast on Miskin Radio every Sunday from 10-00-midnight.

THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem
Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, writes:
For REBECCA
Dear Rebecca
We are only human.Because of
this,
we often fall,fail,cannot even
convince
ourselves that we are
worthy.We ARE worthy!
Intrinsically,because we
are here-
Externally,for our effect
upon others.
If you cannot or will not
to believe
in continuance for
intrinsic reasons
You will be forced to
trust
the opinions of others!WE
AFFIRM YOU!
As BRIGHT,BRILLIANT and
TRUE!
Blame the times we live
within
dark clouds settle and the
cold gets in yr skin
Warmth is rare and
wavering.BEAM!
Your inner sunlight will
light a fire within
and keep you warm-until
the next morning!

THE GONZO TRACK OF THE DAY: Tibetan Monks Chanting
Being Sunday I always post sacred music. The name of the deity may change, or even the deity Him/Herself but the spirit remains the same

...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.
