Couplet

Definition

A couplet is a pair of  two lines that have the same meter and usually rhyme at the end words. A couplet may or may not seperate stanzas.

Example
I like to play with my cat
He likes to get in a hat.

Significance
We can almost do anything with couplets. They can stand as a single thought, which means they can exist on their own and be a separate stanza or poem. Rhyming couplets make peoms easy and interesting to read.
