Boy with his Dog

by Treischel

What better friends are there, than a boy and his dog?
You'll find there's nothing transcends a boy with his dog.

Boys get along better with a dog than a cat
Who won't do the tricks THAT you can do with a dog.

At the break of day with a hug and sloppy lick,
A boy will spend hours tossing a STICK to his dog.

And there is no doubt that if any dogs could talk,
They'd ask their buddy to take a WALK with his dog.

A dog will happily greet you at the front door.
There's unconditional love GALORE from a dog.

They'll bark sometimes and want a bone, a friendly pat,
Or scratch while on a favorite MAT with that dog.

They're fluffy and friendly with a shinny wet nose.
Cud'ly companion - anything GOES with a dog.

It is forever loyal to the very end.
And that is why any boy's best FRIEND is a dog.

This poem is a Ghazal. Source: Wikipedia
The Ghazal was developed in Persia in the 10th century AD from the Arabic verse form qasida. It was brought to India with the Mogul invasion in the 12th century. The Ghazal tradition is currently practiced in Iran (Farsi), Pakistan (Urdu) and India (Urdu and Hindi).

A traditional Ghazal consists of five to fifteen couplets, typically seven. A refrain (a repeated word or phrase) appears at the end of both lines of the first couplet and at the end of the second line in each succeeding couplet. In addition, one or more words before the refrain are rhymes or partial rhymes. The lines should be of approximately the same length and meter. Each couplet should be a poem in itself, like a pearl in a necklace. Ghazal's form with this layout, where "1R" represents the repeated refrain preceded by a rhyme; the other lines end with non-rhyme words, represented by "A," "B," and so on:

1R,1R - A,1R - B,1R - C,1R - D,1R ...
