* Open

• Add to terms: 
• HEROIC COUPLET: Two successive rhyming lines of iambic pentameter. The second line is usually end-stopped (also more rarely called "the neoclassic couplet" if the poem hails from that period--1700's into 1800's)
• Would we call Chaucer's couplets neoclassic couplets? 
• Example:
• Fear not the curse of Chaucer killing you,
• For a sound couplet's all that you must do.  

• List 3 (21--30): Chiasmus in Convalescent Homes
   
• avocation
