Triad of Troubles, a poem by Max Burchett

by Maxwell Sebastian Burchett Some say, and believe, bad luck lurks in threes. That a triplet of troubles and woes, even doom, Can be expected to appear, joined in a trio for despair. Bad luck, they say, unfolds in a three-act play, With prologue, conflict, and ending, a trinity of troubles predict, A superstitious claim and firm belief, that fate is to blame. Three and three, fates agree, Bad fortune looms, dooms in trinity. Triple, triple superstition whispers, simple destiny. Photography by Opal RT

I've heard that expression about 'three's' and you've certainly captured the essence of it. Well done, Max...have a great evening, Sara
