TeenInk How would you rearrange this old cliche? "You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" http://t.co/xTNZxcKYxK

TeenInk If this is the ending of the story, what is the beginning? http://t.co/gRzPosYXRi
Capsize:
I scream,
and I can hear
it stop
the wind.
I can hear it
dry the rain.
I am being
dragged
down;
Through the
dry rain
and the
still wind.
In to the stormy
water.
I scream again
pleading to myself
to free my foot
from the binding rope
that laces around my ankle
Icy water
shocks my body
as I fight
with the brittle rope
binding me to the sea
dragging me away from
the still wind
stealing me from
the dry rain.
As I free my foot
and climb on top of the
main sail,
my screams subside;
and the wind and the rain
rejoice in freedom
against my face.
I swing wet limbs
onto the slippery underside
of the boat.
now wrongfully face-up
and watch
the brittle rope
sink
down.
nice, i like the story, very entertaining. i don't understand the supershort lines, but i kind of like them and how they create suspense as they get longer and then lose it as they get shorter. If you could look at any of my work that would be great, thankS! really great poem
