Couplet



Definition: A pair of successive lines in a poem; they are usually the same length and rhyme.


Example: 


So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
 —"Sonnet 18," William Shakespeare
Significance: Couplets are important because they add rhythm and sometimes rhyme to a poem. In sonnets, it signifies the end of the poem.
