Poems and songs have a lot in common. They both use word pictures （create） by imagery and figures of speech to help the listener visualise a thing, place or person. They also use rhyme and rhythm to make the poem/song memorable. In days gone by, the bard was the person in the Village who （sing） songs to the villagers as entertainment. By now, the role of the bard （replace） by the modern-day pop singer or the poet.
