Yes
they sang of the stories told
of ages past and of men so bold
They sang for those who could not read
For the blind who could not see
The peasants tilled the land, and food produced
but for reading and learning had no use
And so it was left unto the singing bard
to tell of history from our past
I reposted this because I read a profile saying "I'm a poet not a story teller" What then is poetry?
