The correct spelling is "distich" in the Webster dictionary, not "distych." Dave1999

- After REDIRECTions this couplet is a complet confusion! Maybe we need to specify at least in this page after each example what kind of distich it is (paradoxist, dualistic, tautological). Lit-sci

I found a poem within the section called Couplets in Western Poetry. You're welcome to cross-check the words! I cheated a little and doubled back with "Traditionally, Western Couplets are dumb rhyme" but came up with this:
Couplets describe many things of which you deal in daily life.
Western couplets are dumb rhyme, although not all couplets rhyme.
Rhyming couplets are one of the simplest rhyme schemes in poetry. Traditionally, Western couplets are dumb.
Both the rhyme and the idea
come to a quick close in two lines; the sense as well as the sound rhymes.
