WHAT IS COUPLET?

Couplet comes from the French word

referring to two pieces of iron
soldered or hinged together. It is two
successive lines of poetry that
typically rhyme and have the same
meter. The second line in the couplet
functions to “answer” or complete
the thought expressed by the couplet
as a whole.
EXAMPLE OF A COUPLET

• Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are.

• I do not like green eggs and ham,

I do not like them, Sam I am.
