<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">poets</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(bard is a kind of poet)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for bards that I've seen before include "Welsh poets" , "Celtic minstrels or poets" .)
