Balls
When first I went ten-pin bowling
was in a league of my own
tho' hot to trot my score was shot
splits and gutterballs set the tone
my opponent bowled professionally
outclassed before I'd begun
she demonstrated then remonstrated
“It's not 'only a game' to some!”
tho' bet my set I'd met my match
when playing each frame for a round
looked like I'm paying...

Hit the Sweet Spot, SweetieEver so sweet
is kernel hub,
the power button,
so neat, tiny and mighty.
But the sweet spot
can sour with
too much power
to savor its glory.
For to score is fragile,
furtive and futile,
when a near miss,
catches the edge.
It's easily bruised,
easily abused,
easily overused,
overdone and missed.
The soft spot sweetie,
requires a gentle touch,
with panache, pizzazz,
flair and feeling....

When We Lose Our Voice or Imagine Being Surrounded By Singing TreesThere are many times,
When we are stuck,
Like when a player exclaims, “Checkmate!”,
And our king falls, as it is struck.
At that point,
The game is lost,
It is over,
Despite how we were flossed.
There are also moments,
When we need to perform it right,
There’s only one chance,
To match time and heart’s delight.
One of those occasions,
Might be to propose,
At...

Game onI really thought you had my best interest at heart.
Now I see you were just playing the part.
Never thought all you saw was a game to try and beat.
Never actually attempting to get to know me.
All you needed was to know I aim to please.
And that I've searched my entire life
to...

Seeing Spots
Physicists may say,
'Random is not truly random,
it only appears to be,'
but another theory goes,
(according to me)
'Not so when playing games of chance,'
(and I have done the sums)
for this experiment logic states,
'The odds in favour are 5 to 1.'
As I spy with my little eye,
seeing spots and counting dots
on a regular die,
(these don't go to 11)

Don't Miss Out On Experiencing Your Creator Playing GamesMy children it is God's love we seek not a woman's or man.
All humans are confused, no one understand.
One encounter with the true God.
Even church programs will seem odd!
All the talk about money and tithe.
Offering for prayer, is simply a lie.
What we all should be doing is Lifting God high!
One touch of His glory and...

Words at playI'm holding on to a sentence no matter how long it runs.
Without punctuation, the story is aways late.
I envisioned a book with names for calling
pages and pages still no answer.
an exchange of ideas through a volley of words
just trying to get a point across.
A line with four corners
that's the shape of a pen....

Grave GamesTemptation subtly settles sweet
in barren brains
forsaken frames,
and hollow hands.
When nothing's left
is death a loser's game
or a winners?
Most games are rigged anyway
I don't think playing
is in my best interest...

Wordless WordsWordless Words
Countless times of talking,
On the prepared table of meeting,
Killing is a sin and a silly action,
A sin that brings sorrow and suffocation.
Holy books wisely say:
We are equal in all ways.
Now look at how the world dismantles,
A peace broken down into...
