A couplet is a pair of lines that rhyme. Usually both lines have the same meter. A couplet expresses a complete thought and can be funny or serious. Some poems are made from several couplets put together.
The couplet form suits a love poem, of course, because the pairing of the two rhymes, so close to each other on successive lines, mirrors the coupling of the two lovers.
Here’s an example of a short couplet:
April showers Bring May flowers
Here is an example of a couplet poem:
An Essay on Criticism: Part 2 BY ALEXANDER POPE ...... "Where-e'er you find 'the cooling western breeze,' In the next line, it 'whispers through the trees;' In crystal streams 'with pleasing murmurs creep,' The readers threatened (not in vain) with 'sleep.'" ...... Homework:Write a couplet poem.

The birds are singing
The daisies are blooming
The sun is getting up
On this early morning
The dew is rolling
The branches are dancing
I whispered to them
Hello my happy garden
