Yay!!! Next to Longfellow he's my favorite poem! 😊"

Thank you Meg for the suggestions! I'll look into them 😀🤗❤️

[Joanna]

Is anybody ready for another question? 😁

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Oh yeah! ;D

[Joanna]

Ok now let me think of one...😂

[Joanna]

Aha, I've got one! 😁 Which of the Fireside Poets had a particular fondness for trees?

[Hannah]

Meg wrote: "Aha, I've got one! 😁 Which of the Fireside Poets had a particular fondness for trees?"

LOL, all of them!!?!

[Hannah]

I'm tempted to say Thoreau.

[Joanna]

Hannah wrote: "LOL, all of them!!?!"

That's a good guess! 😂

[Joanna]

I should give a list of the Fireside Poets for those who aren't familiar with the title (I wouldn't be either if I didn't practically make a study of them. 😁) The Fireside Poets are Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, James Russell Lowell, John Greenleaf Whittier, William Cullen Bryant, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. There, now you've only got 5 to choose from...it should be easy! 😀

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Hmmmmm....
eeny meenie minie moe.....
James Russell Lowell!

[Joanna]

I'll do a Ruth and Emma...anyone else have a guess? 😁

[Hannah]

Meg wrote: "I should give a list of the Fireside Poets for those who aren't familiar with the title (I wouldn't be either if I didn't practically make a study of them. 😁) The Fireside Poets are Henry Wadsworth..."

I shall stick to my previous guess and say all of them. Haha!!

[Hannah]

I also wanna say Joyce Kilmer but she's not even listed. HAHAHA!!! She wrote a poem that begins, "I have never seen a poem as lovely as a tree."

I also wanna guess Longfellow?

[Joanna]

So Hannah guesses all the Fireside poets plus one and double guesses Longfellow...😂

[Joanna]

Hannah wrote: "I also wanna say Joyce Kilmer but she's not even listed. HAHAHA!!! She wrote a poem that begins, "I have never seen a poem as lovely as a tree."

I also wanna guess Longfellow?"

Wait a minute...so I just looked up Joyce Kilmer and it's a HE! (Alfred Joyce Kilmer). Do I have the same person?

[Ruth]

That definitely sound like Thoreau
or Emerson.

I'll say Emerson.

[Hannah]

Really? Oh wow, had no clue Kilmer was a man! Ha, learn something new every day!!

[Hannah]

Meg wrote: "So Hannah guesses all the Fireside poets plus one and double guesses Longfellow...😂"

Just wanna be on the safe side!!

[Lily Rose]

Guessing James Russell Lowell, just to be in the books. No idea.

[Hannah]

Meg wrote: "So Hannah guesses all the Fireside poets plus one and double guesses Longfellow...😂"

This is also my game plan while reading mystery novels. If you suspect everybody, you'll never be wrong.

[Allyson]

IT'S OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES!!!

[Allyson]

Hmm, I was thinking Sydney Lanier, that's why I said it with such certainty. Oh well, that's still my guess.😁

[Joanna]

Wow you are a suspicious person! 😂 You know, I'd probably make a good detective...I'm pretty sure I've always suspected the right person in all the books I've read!

[Joanna]

Allyson wrote: "IT'S OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES!!!"

Allyson is sure of herself! 😀

[Joanna]

So lets' see, do we have everyone's guess yet? Haven't heard from Doreen yet. Doreen!!!!! 📣📣📣

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Where's Ruth?

[Ruth]

🎁

[Joanna]

Emma wrote: "Where's Ruth?"

I haven't seen much of her the last day or so...must be busy. She did pop in to guess last night though. 🤗

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Is that your new signature Ruth? 😂😂😂🎁🍭

[Joanna]

Ruth wrote: "🎁"

Oh, there she is!!!! 😀

[Ruth]

Emma wrote: "Is that your new signature Ruth? 😂😂😂🎁🍭"

🎁 is easier than typing in "present"
😜


😗🎶

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Ahhh! You are too funny Ruth! XD

How very Sherlocky of you, Meg!!! Hahaha!!

[Allyson]

So now do we just need Doreen?

[Joanna]

Allyson wrote: "So now do we just need Doreen?"

Yep! Although she said she's having internet problems so I don't know if she can join us or not...😔

I didn't think of
Will Dorry answer "Alcott"?
