Polar caps cry to the sea.
Will life continue?
Do we care?

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 that statement.

    The title caught my attention and made me eager to read! I havent see much of this form before and I really did enjoy it. You said so much in so little words and the depth here was filled with an immense amount of power. This is a topic many people ignore although its obvious that its happening, people should just open their eyes and see whats going on around them and help save this earth we live in. It doesnt even take that much...the smallest deed by each person can make a great deal of change.

    Great choice of a topic that I can go on for hours about haha.

    ^I loved it! The personification was flawless and it truly is a cry...the question is does anybody hear? They better open their ears sometime soon!

    Well done!

    If we don't, we should. So few words to convey a powerful message.
