This was assuredly different and unexpected. It is so clever using Pluto in the line of loneliness being the outer planet. Unique.

I like the poem. While others go on and on, you keep it short and sharp. You have no punctuation, which is the better way in this style of free verse, but I wonder why you used capitals at the beginning of some lines, but not for others.

    Your comments are greatly appreciated. Thank you. Use of capitals in free verse has given me something to think about.

I liked your poem in that I just lost my dog. Before that I was worried I might die before him. SO your poem hit me. Now I'm the sad sack.

    Thank you for your empathetic review.My heart goes out to you with the loss of your friend. We have a special border collie and I know we would be lost without her.

Awww. Poor Pluto...
I love the imagery you used "...his silken ears in disarray..."; "... his sunken eyes..."
Good subtle rhyming.
I can almost hear his moan and wail, waiting in vain for his master.
I feel for Pluto. I like his name as well. Suggesting small - a pup - and lonely, like his namesake.
Nice smooth flow.
Great job. Thank you for sharing.
