Yes! Part of the aim of the Fireside Poets was to make Poetry in general the topic of everyday conversation. And their adherence to the strict code of metered and well-rhymed poetry made it so much easier to quote a favorite, as the rhyme was generally quite memorable. I'm sure Roosevelt's fireside chats (which I've heard of in fast history lessons) had pretty much the same goals in mind, except the topid of discourse was about how to better the country and politics in general.

Thanx for commenting RON and I'm glad you appreciate the post

Jacquii.
