Creative Writing
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
