Foster Poems

Writing is the fostering of ideas; shaping thoughts into words, and molding them into statements as a way of expression. But ideas wither, thoughts fade, and words get lost. In manifesting our concepts into a language, we struggle to convey our emotional truths.

These poems are a series of words to nurture shared feelings — notions of love, longing, and loss. An adoption of letters, lyrics, and syllables, foster poems is a book of lost words that might foster those who find them.
