Heine has directed poetry contests for several State Fairs and helped found poetry contests for several county fairs. Although he suffered a serious back injury in 1985 he continues to promote poetry in public places and donate books to schools. POEMS BY STEVEN ROBERT HEINE AMERICA In Humbletown a flag still flies. Floating proudly in the breeze.
And down below the farm folk toil in fields that roll like lush green seas.
A builders hammer pounds the air, as a church is raised from virgin wood.
Three children play, not far away in a park built where a shack had stood.
An old man looks out from his porch exclaiming with a heavy sigh:
"America, America long may your proud flag fly." © copyright 2003by Steven Robert Heine HAPPY NEW YEARS In every year if a man is lucky,
he'll meet two or three people who become true friends.
And he'll set new places at his table of feasting
as he celebrates when at last the year ends. © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine DREAMER Look far away for a little while, and tell me the dreams that you see. From the fountain of love that flows from your heart, great things will soon come to be. © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine. A REQUEST You cannot see the silver seeds, my restless soul hunts after. But hold me now, inspire me with love and pain and laughter. © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine. OASIS You were first to fill my glass.
Sparkling love you freely shared.
Thousands passed my wretched way.
But none till you, reached down and cared. © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine SUNSHINE
You are in my heart and there to stay. Like the sunshine you warm me, in a special way. © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine MARGE There came one cool, crisp Halloween, a princess I had never known. Who led me to a World I had not yet seen, but long had hungered to be shown. Her eyes were like the Autumn moon, her voice like the Autumn air, and I feared my dream would end too soon, as I drew her close and held her there.
Like tiny, precious drops of gold were the moments that we shared. Embraces were exchanged and secrets told, but real love was never dared. For she was destined to become but a memory and I knew I'd soon have to go. So I told her that she'd always be a part of me... and she always will, I know. © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine

At seventeen Steven Robert Heine was honored for heroism for saving the lives of two children in a daring rescue in Salem Oregon. After graduating from college with two degrees, he began to immediately publish his poetry and sell it at State Fairs. In 1985 he suffered a crippling back injury that made it often impossible to even walk. In intense pain for many years, he still continued to work and support his family, and to develop poetry projects around the world. Two years ago, major back surgery finally brought some relief to Heine after so many years of severe pain. Today, he has opened new frontiers of poetry through the internet.

COUNTY FAIR POETRY CONTESTS
If your State or County Fair does not have a poetry contest, ask them to start one. Tell them you or your poetry association will be glad to help manage it.
Here are some sample rules:
HOW TO SET UP A POETRY CONTEST
1) All entries must be matted.
2) No entries may use wood frames, glass in frames or metal. (Glass gets easily broken at a fair and can be dangerous. Wooden frames are difficult to hang).
3) The fair is not responsible for copyright protection of each poem.
4) All poems must be original.
5) All poems must have a secure means of hanging on the mat.
6) All poems must have at least a size 14 font. (Poems written too small cannot be read when they are displayed).
KEEP CLASSES OF POETRY SIMPLE! Poetry displays at Fairs are designed to draw people to poetry that many not have a knowledge of poetry.
Sample classes, learned from years of displays.
Why not sponsor a cash award for your fair go give out in your name?
