5 - Alternate Response: The Seen

To answer this prompt, compose a poem or illustration about the Touching. Any part of the Touching is fair game: the anticipation, the actual event, the denouement; you may also choose to focus on one person throughout the Touching, whether your egg or a human candidate. You do not need to both compose a poem and draw a scene to count for this prompt, only one.

Here are some possible topics to get you thinking:

• The status of the Bowl as the Touching goes on
• The weather and mood of Touching Day
• The appearance or emotional character of your egg during the event
• A portrait or study of your egg, a candidate, Shayled, etc.
• A narrative of the Touching
• A depiction of the emotional impact of the Touching
• A description of your egg’s desires or goals following the Touching
