Solway Sands
The sea has gone,
leaving only ribbed sand
as a legacy.
The departed tide
has scoured this place.
The very air is clean.
The stage is set,
a wind from the wings
hints of change to come.
There is salt in the air,
beyond the horizon,
a new sea gathers.

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.
