Put down as a poem (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lay

I believe this is a double definition.

'put down' is the first definition.
(laying is a kind of putting down)

'a poem' is the second definition.
(lay is a kind of poem)

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for lay that I've seen before include "like a minister? On the contrary" , "Not ordained into clergy" , "Non-professional - ballad" , "located" , "gamble" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
