Even though I am back on the 90th episode, I have a haiku for the next chapter that you guys do:
The Trees, light so fair,
In the Silmarils shall rest,
The Trees now are dead.
I hope that you like that. I really hope that you are still doing viewer haikus. I really like that idea! Keep up the good work Carswells!
Oh, and by the way, I just remembered something to say. I have not listened to your new episode about Aulë and Yavanna yet, but I have listened to your old one. When Aulë created the seven fathers of the dwarves they are the ones who get the seven dwarvish rings in Fellowship movie! Just wondering if you knew that, I just made that connection today and I thought that you should know. Thanks!
