                    Creeping amongst the lash of nights eye = 9
                    He ignores around it, making dry = 9

                         Pulling the lids back with both fists = 8
                         As he skids across our eyes mist   = 8

                           He causes bursts of replay = 7
                           Credible to some, at day = 7

                              Yet fixated are we = 6

                                This is a “Mock Bowler” poem

                                                  Each 
                                           stanza reduces
                                    syllable count beginning
                                with nine and ending with one
                             The form “Mock Bowler”, created
                             by Sandra Hudson, resembles the
                              pins at the end of a bowling lane
                                  Each two-line stanza has the
                                    same syllable count and  
                                     stanzas must rhyme
                                             last words

Looks as if I get to tap you, Kristy and I didn't see that James Fraser had done a duo already (our bad) so we think you and Sami would write an EXCELLENT duo together. Have fun......Aleera
