Ritter CaveA Poem by Matt "Mickey" DenneyThis was always a blast!
To the gargantuan cavern I walk
Entrance my height three-fold Pitch-black inside Echoes of all sound My light beams before me The Ceiling instills awe Stalactites hang Stalagmites reach A large plateau overhead I begin to climb Hand over hand Foot over foot I reach the top Three tunnels to decide I choose one to take Hands and knees inside The farther I go The smaller the hold On my belly I crawl Open space soon before me My mind takes it all in Screetching and soaring The bats made known Cool draft hits my face My eyes glimpse it all Beauty beyond description What hath God wrought? © 2011 Matt "Mickey" Denney |
