Couplet

Couplet

A verse of lines that usually rhyme and are the same length.

A couplet is a very little thing,
Yet give it the right words and it takes wing.
-Philip Doolittle


The significance of a couplet is to make the poem sound really well when it is a rhyming poem. This is important because if you tried to rhyme without using a couplet format it probably won't sound good. This adds neatness and clarity to the poem. It makes the poem better by having a nice rhyming format that sounds good.
