Can You Write A Couplet?

Question

Can someone show me a random couplet about something that annoys you? I can't figure out what to write

Answer 1

A couplet is a pair of lines of verse. Traditionally, couplets rhyme, although not all couplets rhyme (a poem may use white space to mark out couplets as well).
Rhyming couplets is one of the simplest rhyme schemes in poetry. Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales are written in rhyming couplets. John Dryden and Alexander Pope were both well known for their writing in heroic couplets in the 18th century.

Because the rhyme comes so quickly in rhyming couplets, it tends to call attention to itself. Good rhyming couplets tend to "snap" as both the rhyme and the idea come to a quick close in two lines. Here are some examples of rhyming couplets where the sense as well as the sound "rhymes":

True wit is nature to advantage dressed,
What oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed.
-- Alexander Pope
Whether or not we find what we are seeking
is idle, biologically speaking.
-- Edna St. Vincent Millay (at the end of a sonnet)"

P.S.

For me there is no greater annoyance
Than meeting a pesky "friend," by chance.
--Wize Woman.

I hope it helps you.

When I look into your eyes to see
What my dear has to say today
My heart bursts fourth with thumps of glee
And every saidth word I do obey
