~~ a Quindecim ~~
~~ by tkbrown
It took four years to devise a plan, ten more to set it in place. Anti-corrosive coating coursed through the pipes for they hoped to at least save face. A sample testing every six months until they reached the target space. That small random sample, selected how? The plan did not ever specify that. So, do they pick the few known to be safe? Or, do they were devil's advocate hat and pick some of both groups of ordinance plats -- then celebrate with both keg and vat? Why then, test only every three years, and why does it seem they allay their fears by doing testing themselves instead of contracting 'all clears'?

Quindecim: A Poetic Form that has developed rather naturally as I have written much regarding political and daily living events. The fifteen line stanza seems to work wonderfully by allowing twelve lines to describe the developing arena. Then the last three present some new development that throws a ‘curve ball’ into the mix. There is no specific syllabic or metric count. It is, however, rhymed with no set pattern. The patterns used should recur in a later quindecim when the poem consists of several stanzas. There is no set pattern for the recurrence.
