Amy Green Poet Free verse

God Is Just Bowling!

When I was a kid
   Scared out of my mind
      Thunder, lightening, and wind
         Would always make me cry...

Seeking solace from my Mother
   She always explained to me, 
     All that loud, crazy thunder
        Was God just bowling!

Carolyn Devonshire June 26, 2010 at 11:08 AM Love your poem, Amy. I first heard about "bowling" in the heavens in the story of Rip Van Winkle. It does help to ease a child's fear of thunder. Nice job! Love, Carolyn

Sharon Tideswell June 25, 2010 at 1:20 AM lol, my mum was obviously more sadistic, she used to say it was God falling down the stairs. Poor bloke must have been black and blue. He he, thanks for reminding me of that memory. Enjoyed your poem ~ Sharon :)
