Notes About The Poem

1st in The Beatles Lay Contest (Sponsor: Charles Messina)

Judged: August 16th, 2025

while my guitar gently weeps

lady of the tiger tattoo,
i, the lonesome hunter in queue,
bathe your toes, obscenely straining,
a beleaguered virtue waning
while my guitar gently weeps, i
should scold desire, but hearts deny
seekers trapped by your auburn waves
do meet their ends in many caves
