A closed couplet is a pair of lines in poetry that typically rhyme and contain a complete thought or idea within them. Each line usually has a similar meter, and together they form a succinct, self-contained unit. Closed couplets often end with punctuation, indicating the conclusion of that thought. An example of a closed couplet can be found in the work of poets like Alexander Pope or in Shakespeare's sonnets.
