it's a pair of lines, especially the pair of lines that rhyme.
Usage:
I made a hat from fur and felt,
a feather, and a leather belt.
I topped it with a pretty bow
and lots of ribbons, just for show.
I held it up, admiring it,
then tried it on. It wouldn't fit!
I pushed and pulled with all my might,
the front, the back, the left, the right.
And yet, no matter how I tried
it wouldn't fit. I nearly cried!
I yanked it off and yelped because
I saw then what the problem was.
I'm such a dolt, I had to frown.
I'd made the darned thing upside down!
Importance:
If a reader wants to look back at a poem, couplet helps the reader to locate the lines that contain important information. Couplets also make poems more organized by pairing up two rhyming lines, or pairing up two lines with the same or similar meaning.
