I was unable to attend Bardic Madness this year, so I held a bardic madness pity party bardic circle instead. Several of us completed a variety of challenges. This was my attempt at alliterative poetry:
Aoife to Unicorn came,
Arriving as an outlaw
Acquiring the Unicorn hat
An awful plot was her goal.
Geneviefve boldly held the hat.
Guarding it well was her task.
Guide and leader to us all,
Gentle and great her renown.
Ferret sought favor from Aoife.
Forgetting her duty to shire
For she snatched the hat from behind.
Fast she fled to the forest.
Aoife rejoiced at her bounty
And made Ferret part of her band.
Awfully glad to have the hat
Announcing her new powers.
Bardas told the tale of the crime.
Bitterly bewailing Aoife.
Broadly calling the betrayal
Because he sought to catch the thieves.
Avelyne, called Jessa, did go
Away swiftly to the forest
And to the thieves in the forest
Announced her wish to join them.
Jessa grabbed the hat from Aoife.
Just grabbed it and ran away.
Joining her shire again
Justly she returned the hat.
Greatly the seneschal rejoiced,
Glad to have the Unicorn hat.
Gone was her sorrow and travail.
Genevievfe our leader again.
