I am Brenna O'dempsy, and I was just wanting to introduce myself to my fellow
bards... I love to sing and tell stories and I would like to consider myself a
poet, and YES, I too am a horrible ham... I have a question.  How well is
poetry excepted in the bardic circle?  Most of what I hear are songs and
stories... I would love to hear from all of you... Thank you.<br>

       As with most bardic it is welcome if it is
entertaining and appropriate.   Poets are well respected.  <br>
