Isocolon

Isocolon is a rhetorical scheme in which parallel elements possess the same number of words or syllables. As in any form of parallelism, the pairs or series must enumerate like things to achieve symmetry.[1] The scheme is called bicolon, tricolon, or tetracolon depending on whether they are two, three, or four parallel elements.[2]
