Performers Need an Audience—A Borrowed Prompt

I think this may be the perfect prompt for poets, or maybe perfect for just me.

For the first prompt, write a poem or story from the perspective of this sunfish once the “audience” returned. Here is the article’s link if you want more details: https://apnews.com/article/japan-ailing-sunfish-aquarium-e7a445c162bfe3ce0d95685d277ff812.

The next prompt is to write a poem addressing your (imagined?) audience when you write, or describe your poem’s desired audience.

Bonus prompt: what did you say to get this reaction from these two fish?

And an additional bonus (bonus bonus) prompt: write whatever comes to mind when looking at these swirling fish.

Good luck writing! Have fun!
