A Collection Of Poetry

By Dawn Pitts

Dawn Pitts began her career as a writer of children’s stories but after joining a writing group in 1999, gradually went on to other genres of writing. It was during the early years of her career she showed an interest in poetry, and has put together her first collection for your enjoyment.
Dawn Pitts writes poetry tells a story and she hopes they make people smile, as they recall similar incidents. Travelling across Western Australia and into the Northern Territory and South Australia gave ideas for some as well as family incidents.
Some may be sad; however, they reflect what people the world over encounter in their journey over the years. As an author she draws on experience or research for her ideas to add authenticity to the subject.
The collection contains poems for both children and adults alike.

Dawn Pitts

My writing career began in 1999 when I was led to write a children's book. A few years earlier I was working as a Library Assistant in a high school and soon discovered that a number of young teenagers had reading difficulties and that there was no suitable material for them to read. This was the seed that grew a few years later when I was walking regularly in an effort to lose weight when I heard a voice tell me to write a children's book. My reaction was, "No way. I'm not good at that sort of thing and where would I start." Feeling smug I continued home and tried to put the idea out of my mind. A few days later the Reader's Digest arrived in the letterbox and in it was a course for Writing for Children. I almost died."Over the next six months I completed the course and then had the confidence to join a local writing group. Since then I've have had success entering both local and national competitions. I now teach classes as a volunteer and enjoy passing the knowledge on to other authors.I have three adult children and five adult grandchildren.
