This prompt is based on an idea from Danielle Wong.
Below are two images of a Siphonophore Apolemia. It is an animal that actually is made up of hundreds of animals that clone themselves; the scientists had thought that together they float around and wait to catch food, but they now know they are capable of hunting.
There’s an article about them if you want to learn more:https://globalnews.ca/news/6799525/jellyfish-string-creature/?utm_medium=Facebook&utm_source=GlobalNews&fbclid=IwAR2bdLbQz0STcPCUfW_ZGrpaWwn-Mj8mXtDUVlXkMHTTz4jeEAzRGz57ORw
You can use this either as an image prompt, jumping off the image below to write a poem, or you can write about what it’s like to be one small part of something bigger.
I see only one image. Are my eyes sleepy?
No, one image kept not sticking. i don’t know why! I’m sorry! I re-uploaded it three times. This creature is clearly too cool for the internet 😉
There is only one image but I think that image is actually a bunch of little sea creatures all stuck together. Pretty magical looking, happy writing!
