As the title states, these are works from my high school creative writing class. Many are from my scrapbook of "Reality".

Syllable Cinquain

My life
Reels foreword now.
Learning, preaching, and how
Would things work out differently?
I’m gone.


Haiku

The earth grows the race
Mankind smart, society dumb
Lemmings don’t swim well

The land of the free
Leashes held by enemies
Are they friend or foe?


Clarihew

Things are never what they seem
Maybe it’s because we always dream
Of golden raindrops and beauty afar
Instead of bills and paying for your car

Either way we have to know
Reality bites when times are low
But whenever we need a helping hand
We can always venture to Candyland


Tanka

Be true, be the case.
Sand the test; have the true ring;
Prove true, substantiate.
Hold good, hold true, hold water.
True, right, correct, realistic.


Triplet

As I watched the dark sky
Feeling the soft breeze
The moonbeams I saw


Diamond

Truth-
fact, reality
proving, stating, explaining
pure, naked, natural, actual, authentic
bending, changing, warping
trick, wrong
False


Couplet

A tranquil land emits harmony.
For dreamers find it occasionally.


Quatrain

You search for truth but when the mists roll away
You expect to see clearly but something’s astray
The world is filled with blurs and fuzzy thoughts
For you to decipher from what you’ve been taught


Phone Poem

In the land of Reality
There are no limits to bind your mind
For everything exists here.
So live creatively,
Find yourself,
And never give in without a fight.
Think.


Reality is…

Reality is everything
Reality is nothing
Reality is pure
Reality is tainted
Reality is what we make it

Close to Reality

What we see, feel, and hear doesn’t even come close.
When the majority of the people agree, we follow the masses the most.
All it takes is one loophole to contradict the matter
And he who finds the key to this should be the one to flatter
