Other People’s Prompts

Not feeling great tonight, so I am posting some prompts I saw on Twitter. I hope you all have a great night!

I tried to find the inspiration poem but could not. Larry Fagin (1937-2017) published twelve books. I am especially interested in his The List Poem: A Guide to Teaching & Writing Catalog Verse. And now I am contemplating my own mortality and lack of published books.

Anyhoo, here is another prompt that could work for a fiction or poetry.

Here is the article “The Mystery of the Blue Whale Songs” by Kristen French if you would like to read more. I found it fascinating as well as the sonic pollution hypotheses not found in French’s article but in a Twitter thread. I am going to miss Twitter.

And a bonus ekphrastic prompt:

(Be assured that we dumped this jar found in the back of the fridge out and refilled the hummingbird feeders with fresh sugar water).

Gotta love some colorful contamination!

Good luck writing!
