Couplet

Definiton:
A couplet is two lines that form a stanza in a poem. Usually rhymes and have the same meter.

Example:
True wit is nature to advantage dress'd;
What oft was thought, but ne'er so well express'd.
 — Alexander Pope

Significance:
A couplet is important because it is a simple rhyme scheme in poetry; it calls attention to readers. Couplet expresses ideas quickly in just two lines.
