Couplet

Definition: A pair of lines in a poem with rhyming end words.

Example: Good night! Good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow;
That I shall say goodnight till it be morrow
~Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare

Significance: Couplets are a simple rhyme scheme that still counts as poetry. Rhyme and idea are very close in the two lines.
