Couplet


Definition: Two lines in a poem grouped together, sometimes by length or rhyme.

Example:

Silly Sally
When Silly Sally irons her clothes, they come out looking awful.
She did not read the label and her iron was meant to waffle.

by Denise Rodgers

Significance: It helps group together the same thoughts or finish one and helps the reader know where to read the poem so they don't read the poem incorrectly by reading it together as an entire paragraph or without the pauses.
