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 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!!" (The wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)

SEA 2013

if i were to return to her
she married to one moon
calls in her silences
i hear,and i demur
she has another lover-
plastic,permanent
he has occupied her
she has been changed by him
Moon can call.tides will rise
Occasionally,Tsunami-we
will always be close
i carry water in my blood
i cannot share her demise
with plastic permanence
So i make do-myths/memories
they will sustain me/float me
better than oil sea 2013
