Kinetic energy is the energy a moving body - in this case, the Bowling ball - has. The ball actually has two forms of kinetic energy: rotational and translational. The rotational energy is the energy of it's spin, and the translational energy is the energy of it's motion towards the pins.

This can be seen as a roller coaster at the tallest point of the ride. Then, when it is rolling, the ball has kinetic energy. At least until the forces of gravity and friction are able to stop its kinetic energy.
