Creative Writing

I suppose the instructor can tell which students are taking it the most seriously.

Somebody can write:

Poetry can lick my balls

Because it means nothing to me

Now go crawl up a tree.

And the teacher can say "###### you, 12%!"

I think the teacher would be grading Maca's structure and stuff like that, not his creativity or content.

Well, one would assume someone taking a course like this would actually be in it for a reason. And I still don't think you can give your poem 12% because it's still creative and says something important to the reader about the poet.

And like I said before, how can you grade structure when the greatest poets have always been ones who have moved outside the structure box?

USUALLY you'll be able to tell the difference between someone that's so good that he can make his own rules and someone that just doesn't know the rules properly.

I think my poem would deserve 12% because I probably didn't put much creativity into it at all. It was written off the top of my head and without any care.

I saw this in your Notes on facebook. My favourite off the top of my had is, "Normally when I'm sick I stop being sick and be awesome instead, but this is just getting ridiculous." Especially considering I'd seen the one from a couple days earlier that went with it.
