The year’s first swallow is here
Just the one
Balanced quite comfortably
On the telephone wire
A bright summery note on a four line stave
Flown in on the warm south wind
It sits, calling for the others
It can’t eat all these midges and mosquitos alone

Four line stave! It had to be said for birds on a wire 🙂
