Dawn Ferrett Poems

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

Amid the hustle and bustle of the school playground,
One young girl sits all alone.
As quiet as a mouse, she watches, but doesn't join in.
No-one pays her any attention.
...

You think that you know just who I am,
But how can that possibly be,
When all you can view from the outside
Is the part I allow you to see?
...

I am a child, lost in a strange and frightening world,
A refugee in a time of trouble.
I gaze upon the faces in a hostile crowd:
An orphan, whose home is a pile of rubble.
...

It really isn't funny
When the day is warm and sunny
But your nose is red and runny
Though you haven't got the flu.
...

O, pity the poor unfortunate child,
Neglected and forlorn!
No-one to care for or nurture him:
He didn't ask to be born!
...

I dedicate these lines to you.
There never was a friend so true.
When darkness falls, you heed my call:
Spread luminescence over all.
...

Here's a special toast to my family and friends.
My chance to wish you good cheer.
Here's hoping your wishes and dreams all come true
At this magical time of the year.
...

Here's Santa in his workshop.
He's looking pretty p****d
'Cos some great thieving mongrel's
Gone and pinched his Christmas list!
...

What lies in store for you, my love?
What does the future hold?
Will you be learned and wise, my love?
Will you do brave deeds and bold?
...
