English term or phrase: couplet
Definition from The Poetry Archive :
A couplet is a stanza (or even a poem) consisting of two lines. These need not rhyme, nor be the same length, but can be. If there is no enjambment at the end of the second line, it can be called a closed couplet (the opposite being an open couplet), especially if this is a recurring pattern.

Example sentence(s):
  • Rhyming couplets are one of the simplest rhyme schemes in poetry. Wikipedia
  • Elaine Feinstein's 'Urban Lyric' has an individual aspect of the scene in each couplet, each of which is linked, however, to the adjacent aspects. The Poetry Archive
  • Elementary students rhyme, write couplets, make and paint clay pumpkins, and write pumpkin poems during a reading lesson about The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin. suite101.com

Definition from own experience or research:
Kuplet je celina od dva stiha koji se mogu, ali i ne moraju slikovati, obično istog metra.

Example sentence(s):
  • Živo vrelo gradskog duha - piše u odgovoru Kiš o francuskoj erotskoj poezii - poput ponornice čas izbije, čas se skriva pod zemlju, pritisnuto puritanizmom, hipokrizijom ili akademskom zabranom, da bi onda ponovo šiknulo kao gejzir, pa makar u vidu kafanskog kupleta ili kabaretskog pevanja u pesmama velikih šansonjera. - http://www.serbica.com/index.aspx?id=ww&  
  • Pošto sam ceo život pisao pesme, sažimajući svoje ideje i emocije u kratke rimovane kuplete i prateću muziku, nikada mi nije palo na pamet da napišem knjigu. - http://novosti-iz-bkd.blogspot.com/2008/

Definition from OGRANIČENJA RATA U RANIM CIVILIZACIJAMA:
Veliki rimski epski pesnici Lukrecije, Vergilije i Lukan razvili su originalni smer u epskoj književnosti pišući stihove od šest stopa (u heksametrima) i u pet stopa (pantametar) što je činilo elegijski dvostih zvani distih.

Example sentence(s):
  • Heroic Couplet- two lines of iambic pentameter, also the last two lines of the English sonnet. From Richard Steere's "On a Sea-Storm Nigh the Coast" "Wave after wave in hills each other crowds, As if the deeps resolved to storm the clouds." - Craft of Poetry Home
