Editing Quatorzain

{{short description|Poem of fourteen lines}}

A '''quatorzain''' (from Italian ''quattordici'' or [[French language|French]] ''quatorze'', fourteen) is a poem of fourteen lines. Historically the term has been used interchangeably with the term "[[sonnet]]". Various writers have tried to draw distinctions between "true" sonnets and quatorzains. Nowadays the term is rarely used. When it is used, it is to distinguish fourteen-line poems that do not follow the various rules which describe the sonnet.<ref>Jones, Paul Anthony.
