Future and Past

The past is a book
             of recipes,
             a Vade-mecum,
             a file that we often
              consult in doubt ...
             But if so
             some if you forget to forget
              the past ... poor thing ...
             If you don’t have life today,
             certainly will not have
             no future ...!

Darlene De Beaulieu August 17, 2020 at 3:21 PM Hello Alkas Poetry, a cookbook from the past would be interesting. To see what they baked or cooked in those days. Sometimes a person past hurts making it hard to forget. True if you don have a life today you won't have a future.Salute Darlene Enjoy your evening my dear friend. Alkas Poetry August 21, 2020 at 11:55 AM Perfect Darlene... book of all types and purposes...salute my dearest alkas
