Weeping Heavens - A Quinzane Poem by Noah Body

A quinzaine contains no rhyming words and no meter requirements. Within 15 syllables, a quinzaine makes a statement and asks a question. The poet doesn't need to know the answer to the question.

The 15 syllables of a quinzaine are broken down into three lines. Here is the pattern:


Line 1: 7 syllables - make a statement
Line 2: 5 syllables - start a question about the subject
Line 3: 3 syllables - finish the question
