A couplet is a pair of consecutive lines that rhyme and are usually the same length.
Example:
"How like Eve's apple doth thy beauty grow,
If thy sweet virtue answer not thy show!"
-Shakespeare
Significance:
Couplets are important to poetry because they group lines in a way that creates a certain meter for a poem. Using couplets is a stylistic way of arranging poetry.
