Sample Creative Works
• Creative works can be classified as poetry, fiction, and drama.

Poetry: a word arranged in a rhythmic pattern. It is used to express one’s creative

thoughts and feelings through a specialized and heightened language.

Fiction: It is a story that is mainly drawn from the writer’s imagination rather than
using facts or valid historical information.

Drama: A type of literature that takes advantage of people’s visual and auditory
senses. It is not limited to what you read or imagine like in poetry and fiction but it
brings your imagination to life.

The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
 
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
POETR
Y And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
 
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
  -Robert Frost

FICTIO
Nto live with, inconsistent, moody. His appetite was
“Jem was twelve. He was difficult
appalling, and he told me so many times to stop pestering him I consulted Atticus: “Reckon
he’s got a tapeworm?” Atticus said no, Jem was growing. I must be patient with him and
disturb him as little as possible.
This change in Jem had come about in a matter of weeks. Mrs. Dubose was not cold in her
grave – Jem had seemed grateful enough for my company when he went to read to her.
Overnight, it seemed, Jem had acquired an alien set of values and was trying to impose them
on me: several times he went so far as to tell me what to do. After one altercation when Jem
hollered, “it’s time you started bein’ a girl and acting right!” I burst into tears and fled to
Calpurnia.”

DRAMA
“ACT 1
SCENE 1. Before LEONATO’S house.
Enter LEONATO, HERO, and BEATRICE, with a messenger
LEONATO: I learn in this letter that Don Peter of Arragon comes this night to Messina.
Messenger: He is very near by this: he was not three leagues off when I left him.
LEONATO: How many gentleman have you lost in this action?
Messenger: But few of any sort, and none of the name.
LEONATO: A victory is twice itself when the achiever brings home full numbers. I find here that Don
Peter hath bestowed much honor on a young Florentine called Claudio.
Messenger: Much deserved on his part and equally remembered by Don Pedrp: he hath borne himself
beyond the promise of his age, doing, in a figure of a lamb, the feats of a lion: he hath indeed better
bettered expectation than you must expect of me to tell you how.
LEONATO: He hath an uncle here in Messina will be very much glad of it.”
Excerpt Much Ado about Nothing, William Shakespeare
