Creative Writing encourages students to create new and unique literary art through storytelling. In this course, students will practice the basic rules of creative writing and will learn from both their colleagues and from professional writers. Students will write scripts, short fiction, essays, and poetry. This course will also offer examples of various author’s works to provide a basis for writing.

 

Student Creative Writing Example:

BLM

A living target for those who do not shoot

For practice 

But to kill

Your intuitional mind yells

Pull the trigger

Obeying what you thought was trustworthy

You fired the gun

There’s no walking away without a bang

Coming from your sour scented aim

A gun

Purpose for protection but instead 

Used as weapon 

Against me 

Against my community 

A body drops 

The sirens ranged 

10-13

10-13

Cover for me 

Cased closed

You walked away 

Society and the system are to blame 

Dismissive attempts vocally project 

This will not stand

But yet 

They redirect the oppressed to illusion the facts that 

We are not the same 

Laws are the same laws with different rules placed

Privileged 

Supremacy given to those who mask of the color white

Again

We are silenced 

Duplicity remedies are injected within societies to keep everything intact 

But it just gets ransacked 

Black

Is what I mean 

Crimes on my hands misplaced there by my oppressor 

Because 

The color of my skin makes me bleed 

Different 

From others 

Systematic strategies 

Imprison our people 

In exchange for money 

Encompassing hands and feet in chains that are

Bleached with the blood 

That runs 

Rather than flows 

You see

They bring up my wrongs and ignore my rights 

Opposed to 

Believing in me
