As for the technicalities, I like to give them as sometimes poetry can be pretty inscrutable. A quatrain is just four lines. Iambic tetrameter means there are four feet (units) of iambs (unstressed, stressed) in each line, so eight syllables per line. For the rhyme, the letters just indicate which lines rhyme.
Wow i understand nothing about the technicalities you reference at the end but I enjoyed it anyway.
Thanks! Glad you liked it.

Thank for the lesson:)
This is excellent--happy to see meter wielded so well.
Thank you! It's early days for my poetry. I've got a lot of improving to do but I'm very much dedicated to meter.
