Roll a word in middle
of bowling alley
Play a game of skittle
with vocabulary

watch how one word strikes
many pins at once
as a gardener's spike
impales the bits he hunts

here's a word that's difficult
to see how it will pair
as a victim stifled in a cult
struggling for air

like a row of dominoes
in standing row *****
one word in line of prose
has a linear effect

it knocks a thought on the nose
and couples with a next
watch as your first line goes 'n grows
to create what you least expect
