Brevity
Recorded at Bardic Madness 2014 in Ravenslake

Brevity

In the morning, participants will be given a word or phrase that is the seed of an acrostic - both the topic and the initial letters of a poem (or song). For example, given the word BREVITY:

Bitter herbs in savory dish,
Rich broth turns ashen on the tongue.
Every breath makes every wish
Vie to be a prayer sung.
It is no riddle - life is brief:
There is no hiding from that thief.
Yet now's no time to utter grief.

(The words and phrases given out on the day will be longer.)

The People Live On
Pictograph: The People Live On - Breddelwyn ap Taliesin
Recorded at Bardic Madness 2018 in Grey Gargoyles.

Pictograph
It is thought that storytelling pre-dates language. Pictographs were carved into rock and other
surfaces as many as four thousand years ago. Whatever meaning they had has been lost to the ages. In
song, story, or poem share with us the tale the images provided might tell.

Let Us Not Forget
In honor of a figure from history, either Historical or Modern Middle Ages, create and perform a
piece (song, story, or poem) to remind us of them, their qualities, and/or the deeds they have done.
Or perhaps perform a work composed by an SCA bardic artist who has passed, yet their work lives on
in all who continue to carry it forward.
