BOOK REVIEWS

Poetic Ponderings is a balm for the heart and soul.  The lessons learned open up your mind to aspire to new goals, stay connected with what, and who you cherish, to treasure memories, and let go of negativity.  It’s a bedside book that brings you joy every time you read a poem.  It’s a reflection on inner peace.

I was so moved by Poetic Ponderings.  Many of the poems stayed with me for days!  They inspired me and caused me to reflect on my own life, especially in dating.  As a single woman, the love section impacted me the most and it helped me to solidify my own identity and what I want out of my ideal relationship.  This book is definitely an inspiring read and aid for personal growth.

The poems in Poetic Ponderings are very creative and the insights into life are very realistic and expressive.  The messages in these poems are positive, intelligent and intuitive.  They capture the emotions and complexities of life, perfectly.

Inspiring – is a positive and lofty word but it does not begin to capture the sense of effervescent truth, beauty and sublime knowing that I experienced when reading these poems written by Cherri Taylor.  Like rich chocolate melting in the mouth, these poems are to be savoured slowly to luxuriate in the gentle flow of intermingling thoughts and feelings, evoked by the rhythmic tempo of these mesmerising verses.  Reading poem after poem left me hungry for more soulful expansion in my own life, yet grateful for this pathway to knowing the greater possibilities behind my existence, here on earth.  This book is a treasure you owe to yourself.

Poetic Ponderings – Extracting the Nutrients from Life’s Lessons – is so frank and clear about challenges, relationships, feelings, courage, attitudes, potential, loss etc.  It is a beautiful book and writing this review was definitely worth my time.  Best wishes, Cherri.

Poetic Ponderings – Extracting the Nutrients from Life’s Lessons – is best savoured.  I read one or two poems before going to bed and think of the message as I fall asleep.  The week after picking up my copy was a rough one, with close friends passing away.  the ponderings were timely and needed.  Thank you Cherri, for sharing with the world.  For people like me, who don’t express themselves well that way, it helps.

Poetic Ponderings est un petit bijou dans lequel, à chaque lecture on découvre la joie, la paix de l’âme, la sincérité des sentiments, un regard sur soi-même et les autres. L’importance d’ouvrir son esprit et son cœur pour vivre dans le moment présent et s’accomplir.

It was the thrill of a lifetime to meet with Tim Storey http://www.timstorey.com  His intense passion for helping others evolve into the best version of themselves evokes a powerful resonance with my own beliefs, albeit his influence is on an exponentially larger scale.  As he travels the world without ever neglecting hometown communities, he continues to alter lives, positively, each day.  His energy. paired with a genuine engagement with his audience is infectious.  There are many similarities with the inspirational messages that I attempt to convey in my poetry.  It is with much pride, ecstasy and gratitude that I say – his endorsement appears on the back cover of Poetic Ponderings!
