What is a "couplet"?
A couplet is a pair of consecutive lines of poetry that usually rhyme and have the same meter. Couplets can stand alone as a complete thought or idea, or they can be part of a larger poem. This form is often used to create a sense of closure or emphasis, making it a popular choice in various poetic traditions. Couplets are common in both formal poetry and more modern works, and they can add musicality and rhythm to the verse.
