      August 22, 2014Chloe OrtizTwine: A Prayer

      God is a rope.
      Long and thick,
      it pulls us out of the water.
      The roughness burns our skin.
      We continue to climb, the waves
      are still splashing. Our hands are red
      and we shout to God.
      We feel his leniency, strong and continuous.
      Then, with a flick of his wrist,
      we are flung back into the sea.

      from 2014 RYPA

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “I like to write poetry because when I read a good poem, it makes me feel good and I smile. I would like to make other people feel good too.”
