Barbara Spring Biography

I live near the Great Lakes and so my books are influenced by these great bodies of water. My work has also been inspired by travels. I maintain two websites: The Dynamic Great Lakes www.geocities.com/barbaraspring and Sophia's Lost and Found www.freewebs.com/barbaraspring)

The Best Poem Of Barbara Spring

We Never Speak

I caught a silver fish
I caught a fish of gold
The first one spoke to me
And so I let it go.
The second told a joke
And I started to laugh
It slipped from my hand
Down into the sea.
Since then I have tried
To learn the language of fish
Of flowers, birds and bears
Sometimes I am they
And they are me
But now we never speak.
