7-10 Split ~*Marge Tindal*~  Rock me Roll me just don't bowl me down the alley tonight Blue suede shoes don't slide so good when the pins aren't sitting right Fear of throwing it in the gutter causes me to surely shudder The curve won't work if the ball I jerk I take careful aim this is my game Deep breath and let her fly The motion I cannot stop I hear the applause as the pins do drop The alley's rocking with delight I hit the 7-10 split with my eyes shut tight ! *Yep - in your dreams* ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

aahhhh my game as well. You have to visualize before you do. It helps sometimes. Liked that has ever helped me on this split combo...... little too much hook or a board to many or oil spot misplaced.....and so on. Some day maybe!! cute read  |

Marge..... Great read! I'm not too well-versed on bowling, but I love the reference to rock 'n roll, and blue-suede shoes. You've got a great touch...... Dont be afraid of the dark....behind it is the light.... |

I love bowling Marge but I can't count the number of times I'm up for a strike and my fingers get stuck and I slide down the alley still attached to it...ROFL HUSG |

You mean there's something wrong with throwing it down the alley...I thought that's what it was there for... Oh well, it's not the game...It's who you're playing with...right? Enjoyed your poem! |

Marge what a fun poem, you made me chuckle. I don't play the game (a few times when I was younger) but I can relate to the shutting of the eyes and hoping for the best. Thanks Marge for making poetry so enjoyable, I always look forward to reading your work. |
