"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 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 with in 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? why not indeed!!"

TRAVELLING AS HOMELESSNESS
Temporarily torn between bases
Only
strangers as an audience
ON
THE ROAD as HOLY GRAIL
Fates
as interwoven blankets
Subject
to Blind Authorities
If
Music-long hours boredom
If
Writer-Witness For Prosecution
If
Artist-Van Gogh @Arles 300 Songs
If
Astronaut-Contracts on your Rockets
If
Botanist-You R)Newly Undiscovered Species
For
the Strange ,Weird,Exotic,Fabulous
Awaits
Eyes of All Adventurers
And
Rainbows are never @Journey's End
When
Road Glows Ever On/Every Stop a Song
And
you have to leave your home to
find
out you have none
