Dawn Ferrett Poems

As I wander through the endless roads
That typify my thoughts and dreams,
One question has always remained.
Throughout the years, I've journeyed on;
...

Silently, stealthily he winds his way,
Utilising the dark recesses,
Creeping up on unsuspecting prey
Made helpless in his deadly caresses.
...

Daddy has a secret! He was woken by a light!
Something or someone was moving through the garden late one night.
He crept up to the window and, much to his surprise,
He saw a band of tiny folk - about a foot in size.
...

Whatever happened to gratitude?
Is it dead, or just taking a break?
Could somebody tell me why 'Thank you'
Is so hard a gesture to make?
...

So many days throughout the year
Are cause for celebration.
Birthdays, Christmas, wedding days,
Anniversaries, a coronation.
...

I wonder if you think of me
Now and then, now we're apart.
Do memories of bygone days
Make you smile and warm your heart?
...

Hallowe'en has come and gone
And so has Guy Fawkes night.
It's time to look forward to Christmas
And hope (yet again) that it's white.
...

One starlit night a child was born,
A manger for His bed.
While angels sang their hymns of praise,
A light shone round His head.
...

Do you ever feel the slightest pang
Of sorrow or remorse?
Do you wish things hadn't come to such a pass?
...

Awareness of self and others.
Curiosity, an inquiring mind.
Honesty, no falsehood here!
Impishness, playful spirit.
...
