~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The English word quinzaine came from the French word qunize, meaning fifteen. A quinzaine is an unrhymed verse of fifteen syllables. These syllables are distributed among three lines so that there are seven syllables in the first line, five in the second line and three in the third line (7/5/3). The first line makes a statement. The next two lines ask a question relating to that statement.

    This was a well-written quinzaine, they are fun to write and you mastered this form. Great work, although it was short it still held meaning. Keep writing, always and forever..
