From the prompt about rabbits and intervention came "Changing Nature," a free-verse poem about conscious and subconscious forces in evolution, the choices people make and the effects those have.
" Conversations Over the Fence" -- 57 lines, $20 SOLD
Several folks asked for animal pairs, including this one about Cat and Dodo. The result is "Conversations Over the Fence," a free-verse poem in which wild and domestic animals discuss their respective situations.
" The Earthborn" -- 30 lines, $15 SOLD
The "otherkin" prompt combined with many others to describe some of the gifts enjoyed by those who are not solely human. "The Earthborn" is written in free verse.
" Hymn to Nekhbet" -- 8 lines, $5 SOLD
You asked for deities with animals forms, and the_vulture and I have been discussing sacred vultures. So that reminded me of an Egyptian goddess, and the result is "Hymn to Nekhbet," written in unrhymed couplets.
" Island in a Sea of Fire" -- 41 lines, $20 SOLD
I liked the idea of recolonizing disrupted areas. "Island in a Sea of Fire" is a free-verse poem telling the succession of plant and animal life following a volcanic eruption.

Anthony Barrette prompted backchannel for a poem about wildly complaining cats in a carrier. The result is "Tinned Kitties."
" Truth in Theory and Practice" -- 16 lines, $10 SOLD
From the prompt about animal adaptations came "Truth in Theory and Practice" which describes three examples of a common process. This poem is written in unrhymed quatrains.
" The Wolves of Yellowstone" -- 27 lines, $15 SOLD
Two people asked for wolves, so the "keystone species" turned into the free-verse poem "The Wolves of Yellowstone" detailing changes to the ecosystem. It's written in unrhymed tercets.
