Carole Duet Poet Rhyme

Cave Dweller

Poor cave-dweller, come out!
Come breathe the fresh air.
Life is waiting for you
out there.

Living in darkness
with despair
ages you
and greys your hair.

Come to the light
and leave the haze.
It's waiting for you.
Catch its rays.

Just look up
and never give up!

White Wolf June 20, 2017 at 1:08 AM Just look outside your cave, watch how the light is portrayed! A very sweet succinct piece, Carole! Nicely done Carole Duet July 24, 2017 at 5:35 PM Thank you, dear Budgie! :)

Darlene De Beaulieu June 18, 2017 at 6:38 PM Those cave dwellers had a hard life.I think they died very young. I like your poem. Carole Duet June 19, 2017 at 8:10 PM Thanks, Darlene. The poem is actually a metaphor for people who hide themselves away. Thanks for reading. Carole Duet

Freddie Robinson Jr. June 5, 2017 at 10:06 AM Super cool poem, Carole. Ty for giving us man cave dwellers a heads up. Lol! A nice, funny and inspirational poem. Good job, even better write. Love always. Carole Duet June 5, 2017 at 5:23 PM Well thanks again, Fred! I need to come out of my cave every now and then too. lol Carole

Andrea Dietrich May 24, 2017 at 7:01 PM I really like this, Carole! Cave dwellers need to see the light of day and chase that gray away! (I hope mine comes in white when it completely changes over!!) Carole Duet May 24, 2017 at 8:45 PM Thanks, Andrea. I'm so glad you liked it. Mine (the gray) is hiding...under the blonde. Shhhh...but don't tell everybody! lol

James Inman May 24, 2017 at 4:53 PM A lovely sentiment Carole (my hair is completely white, I guess that says a lot). Carole Duet May 24, 2017 at 6:22 PM Thank you, James. My white hair has miraculously turned blonde! lol Carole Duet

Semih Bilgic May 23, 2017 at 11:54 AM Oh,yes,but very bad real Carole Duet May 23, 2017 at 1:25 PM Thanks Semih.

Darren White May 23, 2017 at 2:32 AM I know some more cave-dwellers Carole, and yeah you are right. Sometimes we need just that little push, don't we? :) Carole Duet May 23, 2017 at 1:39 PM Yes we do, Darren. And, I know a couple myself, probably a mutual friend or two. ;-) Thanks for reading.

Anne-Marie Coreggia May 22, 2017 at 7:20 PM Bonsoir Carole, what a lovely and uplifting poem. Dwelling too long in the dark will do no good for your spirit, which reminds me, I need to walk the dog:) Amitiés Carole Duet May 22, 2017 at 9:24 PM Thank you, Anne Marie. I have a tendency to be a "cave-dweller" myself. I just got back from walking my dog, Lilly. She's a Snoodle. lol (Snauzer + Poodle)

Chris Green May 22, 2017 at 4:46 PM There it is, I was waiting for this to pop up. :) Nicely done Carole, many need to come out into the light. A great message in this one. Oh...and how did you know about the grey hair? :) Carole Duet May 22, 2017 at 9:28 PM Thanks, Chris. Like I told you, your and Anne Marie's poems were my inspiration. And, the grey hair? Well, it's somewhere underneath my blonde. lol
