opened door
the darkness lengthens
into a kitten

Bio Sketch
Barry
George’s haiku have been widely published in journals and anthologies,
and in Chinese, Japanese, German, Romanian, Croatian, and French
translations. A winner of competitions including First Prize in the
Gerald Brady Senryu Contest, he is the author of Wrecking Ball and Other Urban Haiku, nominated for a Pushcart Prize.
The shift, thematic, visual, and tonal, in L3 makes this poem emotionally effective.
