“Unlock the Mystery of Poetry: Dive into Couplets and Quatrains with 101 Creative Writing Exercises”
Couplets and quatrains are two of the most basic building blocks of poetry.
Couplets
A couplet is a pair of lines in a poem. The lines usually rhyme and have the same meter or syllable count. Contemporary couplets may not rhyme; some of them use a pause or white space where a rhyme would occur.
Couplets can be used in a number of ways. Some poems are simply a couplet. Other poems are composed of a series of couplets. Stanzas can end with a couplet, or an entire poem can end with a couplet.
Quatrains
A quatrain is either a four-line stanza within a poem or a poem that consists of four lines. Many modern song lyrics are composed of quatrains.
