Two Lost Drones Poem by Doris Cornago

Middle English, to apply a warm substance to, from Late Latin fomentare, from Latin fomentum compress, from fovēre to heat, soothe; akin to Lithuanian degti to burn, Sanskrit dahati it burns. This word suddenly pops up in the middle of my musing about how poetry comes up in the middle of a conversation. I think the burning hands typing or the fingers texting have the same effect as applying heat to stir up some kind of a reaction - thus, fomenting. I do not give a word to confound or obtruct - but rather to target or close in to the most accurate emotion. :)

Sometimes, we need to explain what we meant and not mislead the reader that we do not care at all that he is appreciating how we soar above his head. We do care, even if we have poetic license. I am delighted to be seen when flying but ecstatic when a kindred spirit joins me in my flight. :)
