Dungeons and Caverns

Deep and old, shelter found - drat!

I had Tolkein on the brain, and a few hours left before the challenge closed. Deal with it!

Note for people struggling with the haiku count: Using apostrophes to cut out syllables might make you sound like Shakespeare, and possibly more than a little pretentious, but it's a valid and legitimate cheat.

Also, counting out on your fingers helps a lot.

(Particularly long note in order to hit the 100 minimum for poems)
