This is a really beautiful poem! The love between an animal and a human is such an amazing thing, almost intuitive, as you've captured so well here! Best of luck in the contest!

Exceptional poems! Very well written with good stanzas. I've always been afraid of horses for some reason but that is a beautiful picture you used as well! Good luck in the contest!

This is a refreshing write and the art work is spectacular, the horse seems to be enjoying the freedom and entering the sea to have a good soak splashing about. My favourite verse is:

Across the fields, we fly so free, as if we'll touch the sky.
Pegasus, the winged horse, could never fly as high.

Love that you mentioned Pegasus, love Dolly x

I like this affirmation of the relationship between you and your horse. You acknowledge uncanny bond between steed and rider. This is not a casual relationship, but one that is nurtured and won. I envy you such a bond.

Peace, Lee

    Thank you for your advice. I've contacted him and hope he can fix the problem. Thank you also for such a great review.

    You are very welcome. You are now on the poetry side, and it looks great. I love the picture and thought you had a very good poem.

    When you enter something, just check to make sure it is poetry or fiction. You can change it yourself as long as you haven't released it. After that, Tom has to fix it. I also took out all of the instructions from your review.

Some great imagery here.
In stanza 2, is "load" the right word? You and the horse are partners, and "load" makes you sound like a burden.
Stanzas 1-4 have the same meter pattern. Stanza 5 has a shorter first line. Stanzas 6-8 have a longer first line. Is this intentional?
"Lightning speed" seems to be a cliche. Consider something more fresh such as "splashing speed" or "silent speed."
In stanza 8, you accidentally used the wrong form of "weather." The form you use indicates a choice (I don't know whether to wear a raincoat or carry an umbrella).
I like "his senses at the ready." Powerful line.
