Final answer:

To finish the couplet, a second line in iambic tetrameter that rhymes with 'dew' is created, such as 'Adorning gardens fresh and new,' completing the rhyme scheme and rhythm established by the first line.

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the given couplet with a line that rhymes with 'Rosy petals moist with dew,' we must identify the meter and stress pattern of the first line, and ensure the second line we create follows the same pattern. Considering the original line seems to be in iambic tetrameter, a rhythmic meter with four iambic feet (each foot consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable), we need to create a line of poetry in the same meter that ends with a word that rhymes with 'dew'.

A possible second line to the couplet could be:

Adorning gardens fresh and new,

This line not only maintains the iambic tetrameter but also provides an end rhyme with the word 'new' rhyming with 'dew.' As you can see, this end rhyme completes the couplet nicely, creating a cohesive and rhythmic pair of lines.

Answer:

There was a man who I once knew,

for me there was no other,

The closer to loving me he grew,

the more he would go further

I tried to love him but he never loved me for his heart was for another.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you mean to use your first line then:

Rosy petals moist with dew

Tangled up in the sheets,

the bed was our universe and you were my sun,

Never have I craved a love so deeply as a love of yours.

Its not necssasry to ryhme in poerty but you still have to build up the statement/story you are telling in your poem.
