"Game of Thrones"  Hi! My name is Sandra. I am one of the sly foxes.           Title: Timber          First Impression: You obviously loved this dog. To even resort to lovingly remembering this canine's farting skill is a testament to his memory. This is the first time I've heard flatulence described as a "pungent art." The idea of "a symphony of smells" makes me laugh. This dog's charms made up for his odiferous presence.          What needs your attention: I cannot think of anything that could use editing, or polishing, or rewriting. Timber would howl his approval of this ode.          What part I liked best: Well, this is difficult. What did I like the mostest? The opening stanza beautifully describes Timber in all his "cloak of midnight" glory. "In the moonlight shadows a canine kink strides." I understand kink to mean a twist or a bend. It is true that dogs cannot seem to walk in a straight line. They meander, sometimes undulate. Comparing him to wolves gives him authenticity and a regal spirit. You intimate the bond you shared and credit this dog for making you whole. That closeness with an animal is unique. Dogs love with all their hearts and you recognize that in this poem. The rhyming and the rhythm flow easily and are not forced.           Overall Impression: You put a lot of care into crafting this memorial to Timber and it shows. Your devotion and love shine forth in every word. I believe you intended to mean you were both rescued by this relationship and you cherish it. This could be employed by dog adoption agencies to toot the wonders/rewards of dog companionship. Look no further. Your best friend is here waiting to meet you.          Thank you for allowing me to read your work. It has been my pleasure.          What does the fox say????
