Couplet Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

A couplet is a pair of lines of verse that rhyme.

Poetry in couplets is one of the simplest rhyme schemes:

aa bb cc dd ee ff... etc.

This scheme was used in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in the 14th century and became popular again in the eighteenth century with poets such as Dryden and Alexander Pope. Couplets with a meter of iambic pentameter are called heroic couplets.

Couplets can also play a role in more complex rhyme schemes. For example, Shakespearean sonnets end with a couplet.
