Not a Pine by Maria L. Berg 2023

Today’s Quadrille (a poem of exactly forty-four words) prompt at dVerse Poets Pub is “pine.”

Ever Since I Was Little, I Can’t Help But Call Them Pine

I complain about the pine needles inside
and raking up the pine cones
They’re not pine, says he, correcting me, firmly, as I stare up at the giant evergreens
We don’t have pines
But this dictionary informs me
firs are of the family
pine
