Went out of the country then got a bit sick, so Pigmas is a bit late if you follow the old calendar, and very late if you follow the new one xD The neat thing about doing Pigmas according to the old calendar is I bet we'll have a lot more respondents than usual.
The mechanics are the same as last year. At the most basic level (myrrh, "as to a mortal"), it's like LPIA or NaPM, where you just write a poem based on the prompt, but there are no form requirements.
A little more advanced (gold, "as to a king"), and you have to follow a single form of your choosing for all fourteen prompts.
The most advanced (incense, "as to a god"), and you have to write a sonnet for each prompt, the end goal being to produce a crown of sonnets.
And now....
This eve of Pigmas, if you will,
write me a poem about being ill!
