Would you sing for me on a Summer's Day?
Perhaps Bob Dylan's "Lay, Lady Lay"?
Would you dance for me under starlit skies
& count moonbeams shining in my eyes?
Would you stall the Dawn with a Lover's Kiss?
Would we, then, know the meaning of bliss?
Would you write my name upon the sand,
smile softly at me, then take my hand?
Would you whisper all the secrets that you know?
Would you lead me to the valley, far below?
Would you open your Heart to my gentle touch?
Would you, then, ache for me just as much?
Would you sing for me on a Summer's Day?
Perhaps Bob Dylan's "Lay, Lady Lay"?

Thank you for hosting & for reading so quickly, crysalot14...I'm glad you enjoyed it..I appreciate your Time...Bob Dylan is a famous Poet & singer from the 1960's...He's still recording songs now...Be well, Poet... Wanda

I like it...Pretty Who is Bob Dylan

Thank you very much for the gold, The Risen Sun...I enjoyed writing this one...what was a bit surprising was when my Friend Thoreau47 pointed out that it was actually a sonnet... I hadn't even noticed...I don't usually write rhymes, so I was more concerned with rhyme than searching for iambic pentameter... Thank you for a great analysis & for hosting a wonderful contest...I started writing in 9th grade English class, in 1973; my teacher, Mr. Kuhlman, played popular songs of the day to show us lyric writing...He played Dylan's 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' & blew us all away...as well as Crosby, Stills & Nash, 'Helplessly Hoping' (thus, my love for alliteration)...I love intelligent writing...Thanks again...'twas a pleasure...Be well, Poet... Wanda

I thought this sweet and romantic, and the Dylan song, even unheard, flavors it nicely.
-
This was amazing. It flowed so well and the rhyming wasn't at all forced. I really liked it. The background was cool, too.

i liked this very much. it intrigued me and was the poetic eqivilent of "mindless entertainment" (which is a good thing) the backround is really cool. great write and keep up the good work.
