Now this is uncanny.  There is such a thing as writing a first line and envisioning that a poem could go in a certain direction.  And I have to admit that I feel mean if I do a first line with a word I am personally unable to think of a reasonable rhyme for, and I usually don't like to feel mean.   I put in 'tilted back' both because it sounded like a distinctive part of the experience for the participants, and because darn it, there is at least one excellent rhyme for 'back' !

But what is uncanny is that nothing in the first line was pointing to 'above' and 'love', yet those are the very words I imagined for 3 and 4.



Wow, Andrew! That is uncanny!

There once was a cowboy called Jack,
Who felt at home with his horse and his pack.
With Ennis at his side,
He would take many long rides,
Where both would feel very laid-back.


Sorry, folks but it's been a long time since I posted on this site.
Tony-Ranger told me about this game. I hope you all don't mind
that I posted a complete limerick.
Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.
