Notes About The Poem

Gone Spelunking

I went in not feeling much excitement. 
              Further into the cave I did venture. 
             Claustrophobia robs my enjoyment
               As I began my scary adventure;
             Far from ideal stroll out in nature. 
         I vowed "I'm done being a thrill seeker!"
            As I trailed other spelunkers deeper...
            Into the cave afraid it might cave in! 
           Luckily, I didn't meet the grim reaper! 
            Try again? Now that's a cardinal sin!

Jenna Logan October 11, 2020 at 5:24 AM Very brave to enter in the first place. Being afraid that the cave would cave in...great line, Edward. Edward Ibeh October 11, 2020 at 5:37 AM Thanks, Jenna:-) The last thing you wanna do when you're claustrophobic, lol. It's been over two decades and I still laugh when I look back wondering "how in the world did you get talked into doing that!?" Crazy.
