This month's competition is to create a visual poem about horses. Whether you're a 'horse person' or not, the challenge is to celebrate these powerful and majestic creatures and all they have done for mankind.

Little Ponies
We remain too little to ride
And too wild to care..
Our only longing,
To shed our winter's hair...
And too wild to care..
