Background
This is a book of poetry made up of different poetic forms. Each poem is about one of my pets - past or present. Harley is my new Jack Russell Terrier, and I also have two cats at this time.

Oh the joy puppies bring
with their little faces
puppy barks, nips and fun
running puppy races
On my hands are traces
little teeth leave their mark
I try to scold Harley
he just gives a sharp bark
He's growing oh so fast
won't be a pup too long
playing in the bright sun
singing a puppy song
Oh the joy puppies bring
at times he is gnarly
but then he starts to calm
my little pup, Harley

Author Notes
The ampeletum is a poem of four quatrains created by fellow fanstorian Jejo. Each line consists of 6 syllables, with no required meter. The rhyme scheme is Abcb bded fgcg Aehe. The capital A means that this first line of the poem is repeated as the first line of the final stanza. Also note that lines B,C and E have rhyming sounds that are repeated in later stanzas. Thanks to adewpearl, Gungalo and a few others, I had the guts to try this form.
This is the first picture I got of Harley from the breeder. He has grown so much since then, . . . and I can't remember NOT having him in my life. ~p~
