Depressing
songs and poems
This
book (ebook) is a colection of sad and depressing poems. There's even
a few gruesome poems thrown in for good measure! The poems span a
period of only 2 years - but critcal years - at the ages of 17 and
18. These 'blue pages' are filled with the pain and agony of growing
up. Very
little changes when it comes to growing up. The fight for acceptance
by your parents as you move from childhood into adulthood, mixed with
the pressures of study often make the lives of teenagers, in their
late teens, miserable ... sometimes bordering on suicidal.
James
Taris has always confessed that he wrote poetry for therapeutic reasons.
And none of his poems were more therateutic than his depressing poems.
By getting his problems off his chest, James was able to solve them
- or at least tolerate them - as he moved on through life.
The
poems are written in chronological order (newest to oldest), so you
you can follow James' journey through his dark years. Many
readers have written to James thanking him for sharing his depressing
poems with them. They have realated well to his experiences and found
solace in these poems. It
is always refreshing to know that others have gone through the same
miseries as yourself and yet still wound up leading happy and fulfilling
lives. The
autobiographical stories that accompany each poem also give an added
dimension to these special poems.

DEPRESSING
POEMS
"So
... you have been warned! Nevertheless, these are the poems
most readers compliment me for. I guess there are lots of
teenagers that are going through the same growing-up problems
as I did when I was their age. And if you're a parent, maybe
you'd like to take a peek as well. It wouldn't hurt to try
to understand how some young people think." ... 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)
