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.) |
