I Stand Not Alone

I stand not alone, but grouped as ten
Here comes that big black ball again
I'm down, but not dead
Pulled up by my head
It's just not easy for a bowling pin!

Wow, neat idea to imagine it from the pin's perspective! (btw, I've posted a 'thank you' to my poetrysoup pals and since you're one of them I hope you take a look!)

Thanks Jan. It's been several years for me too. They had two where we live, but one allowed smoking (It went out) and the other was (and is) way too high!

Thank you Line! I'm about to start my 3rd "12" at work but at least I'll have a couple of days off after that. Rain is coming in so I'll have to mow my lawn when I get home and then "PASS OUT!!!!"..........80)
