Still Waater Thirs nithin a can dae, tae stop the way the river rins. It’ll fin the sea, nae metter hoo much a wush it wid bide a wee. Aw rivers’ rise an faa, it’s jist the wey it is. Today The Nith is calm, a’ll stan a while an savour, whit a can chynge, whit a cannae.


Beautiful photos and poetry. Do you ever record yourself reading your poetry?

Hi Liz. If you lookup http://www.pestilencepoems.blogspot.com , you’ll find me (no 89, 12th June). Mind you, good luck with the Scots accent 😱. A “watergaw” is a rainbow by the way.

Thank you for sharing the link, Derek. I just listened to “The Windae,” as well as your poems on the Scots Language Centre site. I’m so grateful for the Internet’s allowing me to hear a poem recited by the person who wrote it. As much as I love reading poetry, it’s really meant to be spoken.
