Dawn Ferrett Poems

When someone touches your heart and soul,
Shines through the dark like a star,
Brings out the very best in you,
Becomes part of who you are.
...

I've never known the love the poets write of.
I've never felt that yearning deep inside.
The passion of young Juliet for Romeo
For me has, somehow, always been denied.
...

Our sofa was a spaceship.
We soared between the stars
Visiting distant planets
Like Jupiter and Mars.
...

Why did I have that last slice of cake
When I'd already eaten enough?
I'm doubled up now with acute tummy ache
And I'm feeling so horribly rough!
...

I remember...

A street in the city where we used to play.
Few cars to bother us, we'd frolic all day.
...

The sounds of children laughing,
The fresh smell after rain,
The new buds in the Springtime,
The clatter of a train,
...

I never once suspected
On the day we said 'I do'
That you might be really saying
'I'll do what I want to do! '
...

A hunter, whilst riding to hound,
Said, 'To catch a fox I am bound! '
...

The teacher had asked her class to compose
A sentence with 'fascinate' in it.
Little Johnny Green, right at the back
Had his hand up in a minute!
...

The fairy on the Christmas tree
Is looking quite forlorn.
Her wand is broken and splinted;
Her wings, all tattered and torn.
