dVerse ~ Poets Pub | Quadrille #182: Are You Pining for Poems?
For this week’s Quadrille, Dee (aka WhimsyGizmo) has us pining for a quadrille, a poem of exactly 44 words not including the title, but must include some form of the word “pine” as a noun, verb, or adjective. Or play around with it and invent your own word.

That it did. Thank you!
Love the play in those last lines! And awesome use of the word in so many different ways.
Thanks, De. The prompt was surprisingly versatile.
Clever, fun play of words. I would fall too (from embarassment).
Thanks!
oooh. So clever.
Thank you.
