There are many examples of imaginative composition, but some of the most common include short stories, novels, poems, and plays. In a short story, the author often uses their imagination to create a unique and interesting plot, while in a novel they may use their imagination to create a detailed and believable world for their characters to inhabit. Poems can be either highly imaginative, using metaphor and symbolism to create new images and ideas, or they can be more grounded in reality, using concrete images and language to convey emotion or tell a story. Plays are often highly imaginative, using stagecraft and performance to bring the audience into the world of the play.
