The Cave

by BlueEyedMystery   Feb 16, 2007


It's dark, pitch back
Drip, drip, drip...
I hear water

Where's it coming from?
I don't remember water

Where am I?
My head aches..

It's cold, so cold..
I'm beginning to shake

Why am I alone?
I was with someone
Where did he go?

I'm scared, so scared..
tears are forming in my eyes

With all of my strength
I begin to stand

The ground is gelid and damp
Hard and slimy
It's difficult to walk

What was that?
Something just screeched!
I think it was a bat

Am I in a cave?
Yeah that's it..
I'm in a cave..

Why am I in a cave?
I can't recall
I need to get out!

I'm fatigued
About to collapse

As I'm about to sit down
I see a glow of light..

Thinking it's just an allusion
But as I get closer
The light gets brighter..

Beginning to fill with hope
I run..
Wanting out of the cave

Finally reaching the end..
There I stood in a cave inside of a mountain..
With no way of getting down..

Standing there
Watching an eagle fly by..

Knowing this is where I'm suppose to be
I start walking back inside the cave
To remain there until I perish

-I don't know if I like this poem. I ususally write rhyming poems and this one seems a little off to me. Please tell me what you think!

    I like the fact that's it's unique and I love the use of the word gelid lol. I love seeing words you don't see every day. It makes for a much more compelling piece. though I wish you would have used more words like it. Overall I liked the stroy it told and you told it well. Good read! 5/5

    Wow, a very different style. I give you kudos for experimenting with different styles or making a different kind of rhythm - it's refreshing to see something new, and to see someone trying to play up poetry to something 'modern'. I liked it, sort of 'story telling' poetry. It has progression, and I liked the rhythm of each stanza. 'Cept, I don't like the exclaimation marks. I'm one to hate those in poetry just because I feel like it makes the poem loose the eerie essence it is intended to have, and when you put exclaimation marks in there, I feel a 'cheesy' vibe. But I love it, I love the speaker questioning themself. Great Job!
