Are You a Natural Bard?


No, I am not going to ask how many poems you can recite from memory.

Or what musical instruments you can play.

No, not even how many years of study you have put it.

These questions would be fine for the ancient Irish Bards and Filid.

But I ask if you were a NATURAL BARD.

The test is very simple.

Are you able to achieve the emotional state you desire, in the audience, you chose to effect?

Is this not the true goal of the Bard?
