Barbara Steiner Poem
There was a man that lived they said
his whole life in grief and dread
A fool who did but once entwine
in his arms a maiden fine
Love for those in stories told
of how this legend would unfold
This lass on many a night
did leave her husband’s loving sight
To a cottage in the town
she would sneak without a sound
Inside a fire warm and glowing
secret shadows flames were throwing
Two alone they thought they were
until her husband did appear
Vengeance burned inside his chest
as the dagger pierced her breast
Dying words she did utter
“You jealous fool he’s my brother”

Barbara Steiner Poem
Another sleepless night,
I watch the snow fall.
Furious flurries in a heavenly jailbreak,
they pile up in the window corners anonymously.
One itinerant catches itself on the middle of the pane,
an unafraid renegade.
I lean closer to admire but its identity slides down the glass,
melted by my curious breath.
Joining others of a lesser fate,
they form a rivulet and fall to the frozen earth below.

Barbara Steiner Poem
The sun rises in a watermelon sky
Green leaves welcome the newborn light
shivering in the crisp air
Watercolor wings amid the blooming blossoms
flutter in the breeze
The verdant high hills and gentle ravines
awaken to the Meadowlark’s chorus in Nature's melody

Barbara Steiner Poem
Swirling, twirling leaves are hurling
around, abound the trees and ground
Singing, ringing breezes bringing
lonely, goldly autumn only
Leaving, grieving October's weaving
its sleepy, slippery shroud
