Uncanny Magazine is a great publication. Marissa Lingen’s “The Truth About Wolves” is a wonderful example of what they publish. Here is the link to her poem: https://www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-truth-about-wolves/
I love the idea behind “The Truth About Wolves” and its implementation—how the poem moves from two wolves to a pack to forest and stream to the very moon. Again, I appreciate a poem that breaks the taboo of writing about the moon (or the prohibition once said by one person that seems to get passed around to all writers), and this poem does so decisively. Personally, I need a whole pack and likely the moon to keep me going this week.
For the first prompt, take a familiar allegory or parable and adapt it. Perhaps the fox who couldn’t reach the grapes, calling them sour, does reach them and discovers them to be fermented. Perhaps your scorpion chooses not to sting the frog; it can change.
The second prompt is to use the first line, “They will tell you lies about wolves,” to create a list poem of lies and fables about the animals and their behavior. You can include the now-debunked theory of an alpha wolf.
The third prompt is to address loved one(s) and create a mythology of them for them.
For the last, create a poem—not about wolves—from the following word list: “contain,” “feed,” “full,” “whole,” “tumbling,” “nurturing,” “entrails,” “blood,” “forest” and “stream.”
Again these prompts are focused on poetry but can be used for stories or essays.
Bonus prompt: write about what famous—cartoon or otherwise—wolves are inside you.
Bonus bonus prompt: write whatever this woodcut inspires.
Good luck writing.
