floodlit sky-
the wrecking ball swings
in and out of darkness
Barry George grew up with nature and poetry in the town and country wilds of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and also lived for a time in Key West, Florida. He finds Philadelphia, home for almost 25 years now, a great window on both people and “nature.” Drawn to haiku as a way to give attention and expression to immediate perceptions, he enjoys exploring a variety of senses, emotions, and subjects in the haiku and senryu forms. He is currently studying poetry in the brief-residency Creative Writing MFA program at Spalding University in Louisville, Kentucky
