Morning Menagerie Display#9
Release: Sunday Display!
Come one, come all and come one in all, however many limbs you have a pair of eyes is all the Sunday Display requires! Quite satisfied with this menagerie!
Red Animal
After 1 Substack, this was set upon by a tribe of savage deep fryers and made into delicious nuggets.
Green Oddity
A lovely haiku from frequent critter champion
, alas after that 1 substack, the green oddity slept too deeply, nevermore to wake.Brown Mineral
A haunt of actor’s revenge from
, everyone is chomping at the bit to get some Halloween spooks in, but for the Menagerie, we'll hold on a little longer! Helped on its way by the current champion and also aided by a passing , it passed no less than 3 substacks!Blue Animal
The blue animal died of a broken heart after 2 substacks.
White Animal
Slain by a grieving warrior, this white animal made it past 2 substacks.
Black Vegetable
Thankfully after 2 substacks this black oddity withered away, tormenting none no more.
This Display’s survivor is…

What is Morning Menagerie?
Each morning, this teller will release a little critter, of varying colours, and either animal, vegetable, mineral or strange in composition out into the wilds of substack.
A little promptling, if you will. The prompt is the image above itself, it can be a little story, an ode or merely the kind of description you might find in a bestiary. There's a few different categories for this.
Sighting
Is either something like a haiku, a limerick or a wee story between 50-100 words
Encounter
A challenging battle (for the writer) of 800-1500 words.
Recapture
For this, words are optional, simply recreate the prompted critter in whatever medium you desire, crude doodles are acceptable. Even AI generated pictures are acceptable, but do state they are such, some critters should prove quite tricky to wrangle a program into recreating.
The Menagerie Display
Each Sunday, instead of a release, this teller will gather up one of each day’s release in a post for display. Consequently, UNTIL SUNDAY, you can do a piece for any of the released promptlings, not just that day’s. Note that this is merely for the Display. The prompt police aren't real and can't hurt you, so nobody can stop you from excavating a month old prompt from anywhere, shine on you crazy star!
On Restacking
This is merely a suggestion, but to make this a little more like a critter wandering the wilds, after the first post that restacks this post, try to restack others, but be sure to say its menagerie morning, and mention
if you want to try for the Sunday Display.
