Creative writing can be described as the access to the optimal function of the written language through the replacement of the elements of a sentence especially the verb and the coordination of language with mental and contextual realities. This approach is so popular all around the world that there is even a discipline under the same title in some universities. On the other hand, there are some texts in Persian prose whose writers have achieved the creative writing through their linguistic competence, deep intelligence, and observing linguistic rules for creative writing. Maqalate- e Shams is one of such important resources. Meticulous application of sentence elements and moving them to different positions in the text, considering the frequency of such displacements, and using discourse strategies makes most of his book the excellent samples of Persian creative writing. The aim of this paper is to offer a definition of creative writing and illustrate rules and examples of such writing in Shams' articles, and reinforcing it his articles in Persian language and literature. Considering Shams's specific approach, it is realized that he has made Persian prose extremely powerful by using personification, visualization of the text, accordance of the textual reality with the contextual reality, excessive use of verbs, artistic playing with complements and dislocating sentence elements.
