Poetry from Ian Copestick

         Nostalgia

I read something earlier
that said that nostalgia

was a good thing. It
was a sign you had
lived your life right.

Why would you look
to the past,  if it was
crap ?

But, what I have to ask
is
what if you look back
to the past, and it makes
you cringe ?

What if it was crap ?

Not, all of it, some parts
were amazing.

But, there’s a Hell of a lot
of crap back there. 

That can’t be good to

remember.

  1. I enjoyed this thought-filled poem. I think the trick is to remember only the lessons from the bad things and not the bad things themselves.
