James
Taris
BE MY INSPIRATION
Inspirational songs and poems
This
book (ebook) is crammed with positive and inspirational words.
Written
over a period of 31 years, you will find a wide variety of subjects
and situations covered within these 'green pages'.
It's
unfortunate that in today's world people are very quick to criticise
and ridicule, when it would be just as easy and so much more productive
to praise and encourage instead.
James
Taris used these poems to block out all the negatives he came across
in his daily life. By replacing them with these self-motivating and
uplifting verses, he built his confidence in spite of the nay-sayers
all around him.
Written
in chronological order (newest to oldest) you can follow James' journey
back through time to the very beginning.
It's
an inspirational journey in itself, with autobiographical stories accompanying
each poem to help the reader become more acquainted with James' life
story, thus being able to relate to his poems much better themselves.

INSPIRATIONAL
POEMS
"These
are the poems I enjoy most of all, so you may like to start
here. They're full of motivational and inspirational verses.
They'll certainly lift your day." ... James
It's
not just poetry
James
has developed a unique way of presenting his poems. Instead
of merely offering a selection of creative and entertaining
poetry, he has also added a couple of other useful and attractive
features:
1)
Autobiographical trailers
After
each poem, James gives some addtional information about when,
where, why and how he wrote the poem and/or a glimpse of his
life and activities around the time the poem was written.
Thus adding an interesting insight with each poem.
2)
Creative images (in ebook only)
Plain
text on a page can often look bland, so each poem features an
image with 2 imaginatively manipulated versions to decorate
the poetry page.
So
prepare yourselves for a literal and visual extravaganza.
What
people are saying
Rt.
Hon. James Taris, You are as full of life as anyone can wish
for! What makes you genius? Who makes you genius? How it all
happens just like that in your case? All these sorts of questions
can be answered in one sentence! "A POET IS BORN NOT MADE!
AND SO IS THE GENIUS!" No one can be a writer like James
Taris by taking up some story-writing course or just going to
some sort of university! You can't be Bruce Lee by just joining
a Kung Fu club of some sort! All in all you are like a mighty
pacific whale which dosen't need swimming lessons! A sort of
albatross who does not need Pan-American to fly! ... Please
try not to change your way of life as it is wonderful as it
is! ... Dhanjisha! (India)
I
read your poem 'She's A Gorilla'. Personally I wouldn't
say I hate it but it is not my style. The one I really like
is "Heaven". The others are more like lyrics
and as I am not very musical I can't make them come alive. My
failure despite being named after the saint of music! Like you,
I write poems because it is therapeutic. Cecilia
(Australia)
I
had a first glance at your web site which is really great (read
also some of your poems which I found very expressive, personal
and professional and would love sending you some of mine ...
but they're all in German.) Dagmar (Germany)
