The Sunday Posts 2013/Two Shepherds
Donald ran and roared and brandished
his stick and swore
in all the languages
he knew, which were some.
Pollochan sauntered. stood
six feet three silent: with a small
turn of the hand
He'd send a collie flowing
round the half-mile-long arc
of a towsy circle.
Two poets
Donysian,
Apollonian
and the sheep in a pen.

Now then, YAM's self-imposed guessing game says that is one of the stones in the Ring of Brodgar - or possibly Pollochan himself!
Hope it's shaping up well, this week. YAM xx
Beautiful juxtaposition.
