Caledonia
An ode

I sat o’er peaks
And loch and quay
Outside the wee town
Of Pitlochry
Upon sacred ground
Amongst standing stone
And thistled paths
Where Picts once danced
Where Roman hordes halted advance
A land of towering tree
Echoes of Arthur’s Britanniæ
I sat o'er Perthshire greens
An interloper from across foreign seas
Struck by the curious notion
That the hills of Caledonia
Felt like home for thee

A/N:
Been out of pocket on holiday to Pauli's homeland. Excellent trip, hopefully more to come from it. If Scotland gets a result against Brazil today I'll buy a kilt. On top of that, wrapped up another draft of the novel which still needs a lot of work, but it's shortly off to the editor for structural review. All of that to say, don't take it personally if I haven't read your stuff.
