Hailey Rose will be three in just a few weeks. I took care of her every day during the first fifteen months of her life. Then, my daughter got orders to move to Virginia. Since then, I've seen her twice a year in person, and weekly through the wonders of SKYPE. She lives in the center of my heart.
QUINZAINE POETRY
The English word quinzaine come 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 the statement.
