Extended Metaphor Poem, Two Caves Diverged

Two Caves Diverged (A Two Roads Diverged Parody)

 Two caves, diverged in the sea,

Dismal, I could not swim through both,

Both filled with wonder and adventure,

I glared down one to as far as I could see

Still, my choice awaits.

  But, I choose the other one, Perhaps naive,

Because it seemed more adventure lurked there,

I thought I would be astonished by my new finds,

Really though, they seemed just the same.

  Then forth I swam into the cave,

Water glistening around me,

I thought to myself was my choice right

I guess I will never know,

Then I wonder, will I come back?

Two caved diverged in the sea

I am saying this sorrowfully,

for that sometimes I regret my choice,

I think that when future generations come to this choice,

They will feel the same,

And that has made all the difference.
