Our friends have attended a German reading,
No translation manual were they needing,
They had plenty of fun
Like a band on the run

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.

What's the difference between 'a' and 'u' among friends?
