Who’s this fucking skeleton trying to hoard all the cave treasure for himself

The Gang Goes Cave Diving

“there’s nothing in this cave worth dying for” would make a great refrain line in a villanelle

Beyond this point the cave, and nothing more.
This is as far as you were meant to be.
There’s nothing in this cave worth dying for. 

The signs and every far-off voice implore,
The heart, the mind, the flattened lungs agree:
There’s nothing in this cave worth dying for. 

Just airless dark. Just bones on the sea floor.
The fruitless search. Your mother on TV.
There’s nothing in this cave worth dying for. 

A picture that you saw some years before,
A diver in a sea-beneath-the-sea…
There’s nothing in this cave worth dying for. 

An underwater river in whose bore
Were caught the branches of a sunken tree.
There’s nothing in this cave worth dying for. 

Forget the cord that tugs you to explore, 
The silver voice that whispers, Come and see
The darkling wave, the glowing secret shore. 
There’s nothing in this cave worth dying for.

I cannot begin to tell you how impressed I am by this. A+ work in my opinion, don ye the laurel it is yours by right

This still haunts me because a bunch of people informed me it’s not how a villanelle actually works, and they were right, and I felt shame! However, I still have this laurel & if u want to take it from me u can fight me for it physically.
