A Tree Swallow sits perched on an Ornate Railing near a Park walking trail. It sat there unperturbed by hikers passing by. In fact, it sang to a few. I took his picture and watched for a while. He was still there as I moved on.

This poem is a quatern.
A Quatern is a poem consisting of four quatrains, where the first line of the poem ripples through each stanza. It becomes the second line of the second stanza, the third line of the third stanza, and the last of the fourth. This creates a rhyme scheme of:
Abab bAba abAb babA where the capital letter signifies the repeated line.
Written in tetrameter.

The picture was taken by the Author himself.
