Rhyming Couplets

The couplets rhyme

Most of the time

 

As simple as A B C

Is the couplet that you see

 

Its simplicity, its firmness

The backbone of its robustness

 

With two successive lines of verse

You hear persons with songs rehearse

 

The two lines with the same pattern of metre

Like an image and reflection in mirror

 

The first a revelation and dramatization

And the other one strengthens with a resolution

 

You’ll see a question

And a reaction

 

A push and pull on paper

Like flow and ebb on shore

 

Expression of forward movement

Expression of backward movement

 

The form of rhyme is on axle

Balancing is the poet’s tool

 

 

 

 

Have your say
