THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling 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 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?" 

ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL IDEA
CACOPHONY OF CRAFT
So -you remember tribe and clan 
when nuclear family Hiroshimas
You gather (outside,in the smoking area)
just to listen to one another.This leads to another beautiful idea!
Why not bring 20 copies of your original works-to be collated
into an INSTANT ANTHOLOGY?This leads to another beautiful idea-
why not share what you have written AND what you have not yet written-
back stories,biographies,street survival strategies-so that what we share is electric,original,unique
This leads to another beautiful idea-valuing each one for their truth and beauty
which leads to another beautiful idea-publishing ,giving,sharing
until each one becomes luminous..which brings us to another beautiful idea-
you can do this often-stars,shakras,sources of Light,Power and Beauty
which brings us to

another beautiful idea..(you can do this anywhere..

...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.
