Hi Melania,
Posssibly have your title do more work for you:
Drawbridge as a title would allow you to start with "I can lure..."
Just thoughts.
Best,
Todd

isa drawbridge.I--Not a personal fan of these extremely short one word lines. It's a subjective choice. I think the lines work better with at least a subject and verb "I lure" would be better for me than "I"can lure people--Don't know if you need the "can"in--Prepositions are almost always incapable of holding down a line. You could do some rearrangement "in people"and givethemthe promiseto pass,but Ialways put upa wallwhenthey gettoo close.
Just thoughts.
