Merle Steinmann Poems
The Western Meadowlark
Gone
Replaced with herbicide, fungicide, insecticide and a gas-powered 'Popper' to keep the birds and geese away
...
There's another woman in my life.
She just appeared one night.
She arrives about 10 p.m.,
but leaves before morning.

We have all heard about the Cowboy poets and their infamous escapades with the bovines, equines, cowboys, cowgirls and the. other various things that happen around the ranch. Well, I'm here to tell you there are some escapades around the farm too that are worthy of the telling.
Like today for instance. But to tell it correctly, I have to let you know it didn't begin today, it began yesterday. It happened like this.
...
Would I kiss every pretty girl I meet?
Would I dance every dance?
Would I sing and play every song
as well as I could?
...
When the houses were dark
we played in the dark.
We worked in the sunlight
and walked with a friend.
...
I am afraid, so afraid
the powerful are powerless
the great are nothing
the rich are poor
...
Elvin, Stevie Rae Vaughan, Buddy Holly,
The Big Bopper
John Lennon, Nat King Cole, Janis Joplin,

Merle Steinmann Biography
I grew up in a rural area. My parents were farmers. I intended to follow in their footsteps but after an unsuccessful attempt, gave it up and became a teacher. Writing is something that I have wanted to do for a long time. Hopefully, I will put a number of things out there. I welcome your thoughts and comments. Happy writing!)
The Best Poem Of Merle Steinmann
Easter Cantata
Pretty,
Smiling,
Intelligent,
Inspirational.
She stands before us.
She calls us to our feet,
We arise in anticipation.
She smiles,
She knows something we do not.
We are afraid.
She raises her arms.
She moves them to the tempo.
The music begins.
She looks in our eyes.
She mouths the words.
Her weeks of hard work,
Her night’s without sleep.
All comes together.
Suddenly,
From within us
Comes this expression.
Of beauty,
Of sound,
Of truth,
Of love.
