There’s no such thing as soulmates.
Are you someone’s mate?
Why share souls?

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.

20 April 2017 at 12:06 pmWhy share souls indeed 🙂 Tying yourself up in another person’s existence can never be good for you in the long run. Finding yourself is the most important thing in the world.

20 April 2017 at 1:25 pmHah now that’s something to ponder upon. The concept of soul mate is kinda fairytale-ish, that’s why everyone likes to call it so I guess. Nice one.

20 April 2017 at 2:31 pmI’m not sure – the romantic in me kind of likes to hope they do exist but I also think everyone is truly unique and that’s the way it should be. Interesting!

21 April 2017 at 12:50 amI read that soulmates are the ones who challenge us the most… push us out of our comfort zones… and help us grow the most. Not “complete each other”, as portrayed in romantic movies.
Happy AtoZing!

21 April 2017 at 5:39 amWow, the more I find out about how many different types of pomes there are, the more amazed I am. It makes me wonder how people came up with all the different types in the first place. Thanks for sharing!

21 April 2017 at 4:01 pmI like the quinzaine form. I think the term soulmate is used very loosely. In my view soulmates are those that resonate at soul level.
