This bird is a Killdeer. It was performing its injured act for me because I was apparently too close to its nest. It squawked loudly at me, and flopped around like it had a broken wing. Quite an impressive display. If I approached it, it would hop/fly further away. There was a bush nearby that was landscaped with stones, where its nest likely was. When I got near that bush, which was next to the tee-box on a golf course, it started screeching and dive-bombing me. Dang bird was going to have a busy day.

This poem is a Pantoum.
A Pantoum is a poem that is made up of Quatrains, with repeating lines. In a Pantoum the second and fourth lines of each stanza are repeated as the first and third lines of the next stanza. This can be repeated for as many stanzas as the author wishes. It is usually written in iambic tetrameter or pentameter. The first and third line of the poem, become the second and fourth lines of the last stanza, only in reverse order. So the first line becomes the last line of the poem.
