The Beatles - Lay It To Me Poetry Contest

What to Submit?

Please submit a NEW poem in a "Lay" form.  A Lay is a type of form that is most commonly written in octosyllabic verse, in which the name suggests, a verse where each line has eight syllables. It can be written up to sixteen lines but please keep it simple and ONLY make it EIGHT lines. There is also a rhyme pattern of aa,bb,cc,dd. You know most of my contests come with a twist and this one is no exception (lol) The twist here is to use the title of a Beatles song and create your own poem from that. You may use any title that you want but the Beatles title must be incorporated somewhere into your poem. Please put in the quotes section the title of the Beatles song. Multiple placements. My Example- Something is on my current page. Have fun!!!
