Pocketbook Poetry: Couplets

Pocketbook Poetry is a new series of mini collections of poems by Cydnee A. Reese that fit in your wallet!

A couplet poem is made of two consecutive lines that rhyme and usually share the same rhythm, often forming a complete thought, like Dr. Seuss's "I do not like green eggs and ham / I do not like them, Sam-I-am". Couplets can stand alone or form stanzas in longer poems, with common types including closed couplets (complete sentences with end punctuation) and heroic couplets (in iambic pentameter, popular in 17th/18th centuries).
