Sleek reptilian river,
Valley’s arterial life giver
Running it’s course,
Brecon source
Roaring, dashing,
Boulder bashing
Wearing, grinding,
Twisting, winding
Bubbling, boiling,
Flooding, spoiling
Small; vast,
Turbulent past
Un-compliant; pandering,
Aimlessly meandering
Slowly moving,
Pebble smoothing
Leads; follows,
Beak dipping swooping swallows
Natural, fantastic,
Polluted with plastic
Mossy bank pillow,
Weeping willow
Wild, freed,
Japanese knotweed
Pools brimming
Summer swimming
Flies and midges,
Stone bridges
Shrub and tree,
Green arching canopy
Rocks and weirs,
Boating piers
Gushing, rushing,
Tree root brushing
Triumphantly raising its voice
To say
I am the Taff,
Here to stay.
