"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 appearences 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!!"

YEAR OF THE SNAKE
Wealth,wisdom,charm,romance,power,intuition?
Manipulative,ruthless,demanding?Chinese embraceall aspects of this flowing energy source.Open to ideas
like water-flexible,fluid.Cool skin containing fire,
serpentine strength a truth to be embraced or avoided?
Water snakes slip surfaces,powerful and potent.
Land snakes curl circles ,warning before biting.
Air snakes eddy currents convection swirl
Hidden are the ways of strength-
surprising all who cross your path.
Wisdom to avoid or seek?Snake-handling religions
kiss that possibility!Moses' rod transformed into a serpent.
We have a year to cycle round one sun,considering
which to avoid/who to embrace...
