Verse-maker's own thing

Bard's is the possessive form of bard, a poet or singer of verses.

The word most often appears in reference to Shakespeare, called the Bard of Avon or simply the Bard: the Bard's sonnets, the Bard's comedies.

More generally, any poet's work might be described as a bard's craft.
