Scribbles from Philippa

June 2008

Spring Crown has brought us happily to the Coronation of Edward and Mora. As is our custom, the bards and poets of Caid have written praise poems for every fighter who contended for that Crown.

With fine words, with humour, but always with courtesy, the Circle of Bards of Caid wield their pens for the amusement of Their Majesties and the entertainment of the populace.

In this collection you will find an amazing assortment of...ballads, tales and sagas, rhymed couplets, sonnet, Terza Rima, Anglo-Saxon verse, Cwdd, Conachlonn, englin milwr, an acrostic, a Chanson, a rondeau, Mongol-style verse and...shameless filk. These bards have talent!

So, read the well-wrought words contained herein and enjoy them in the spirit in which they are intended. We each do our part to enrich the Dream. And fighters, as you continue to acknowledge your bards, your fame will only grow.

Special thanx have to go to Lady Mary Dedwydd verch Gwallter and Lord Secca of Cantia for their stalwart inkslinging.  ;-j And thanx as ever to Stephany of the Sunset Aerie for her proofreading prowess.

Yours in homage to the Muse,

Philippa
