Book of the Week: Whoops

Today’s Book of the Week is Whoops, a volume of haiku and other short form poems in which English haijin Stewart Metcalfe expresses a sensitivity to nature, and a talent for capturing the images to communicate it.

mother-in-law’s tongue
casts a shadow
on the kitchen wall

 

water shimmering
in sunlight
ducks ride the waves

 

modern times
the steeple
peeps over the scaffolding
