The Nith at Glencaple.
This is where
The Nith opens up,
where it ebbs,
where it flows.
This is where
The Nith ends
or begins,
as tides decide.
This is where
the river renews,
becomes again,
a glistening stream.
(Nith - from the old Cumbric “Nedd’ meaning “glistening”.)
I am a photographer/ poet from Dumfries in South West Scotland. I concentrate on minimalist images and prefer using an iPhone these days. As far as my writing is concerned, I usually write short poems (some in Scots dialect), hence my interest in haiku and related forms.

Never knew the meaning of Nith.

Excellent yet again Derek, the pictures illustrate the theme very strongly. I also enjoyed your Romanian poems, especially Daniella colours in.

The black-and-white photos were unexpected, but they worked very well with the poem. They gave us a different way of seeing.
