A couplet is a pair of lines of metre in poetry. Couplets usually comprise two lines that rhyme and have the same metre. A couplet may be formal (closed) or run-on (open). In a formal (or closed) couplet, each of the two lines is end-stopped, implying that there is a grammatical pause at the end of a line of verse.
The couplet is a popular poetic device. A couplet contains two lines of verse that usually rhyme, though this isn't required. The lines can be any length and use any rhythm. Sometimes the two lines are the same length, and sometimes one is longer than the other. Couplets are often used to end a stanza, but they can also constitute the whole poem.
