I write a ton of poetry. Most of it is narrative, and much is speculative, but I do all kinds. I write a lot of free verse but I'm also really into forms.

You still only get 24 of them at a time, plus the wild card in the center space. All the prompts are pretty light in this fest; it's not like, say, hc_bingo where most people really need to look at the prompts to make sure none of their squicks hit the card.

Go for it! I found this fest to be very relaxing, and my audience loved the fills. I often write edgy stuff, so this is a nice break from that.
