Thrice Poems - Poems about Thrice

We went once, then thrice again

We went once, then thrice again,
Pushed through struggles all in vain.
A mountain of trust came crashing down,
By jealousy small, it wore the crown.

We went once, then five times near,
Yet still too late, it was clear.
Regret consumed for futile tries,
While memories lingered, and hopes would rise.

We went once, then ten times more,
Took on tasks we couldn’t

I Am Not Nice

"How are you, my friend ?"


I am not nice
I am full of vice
and sometimes, yes, I do entice
I don't like pasta, I take rice
and if you invade my temple
I'll trample you like mice
or squash you between the nails
like a loathsome lice
so before you ask me again
here's my advice
oh no, not twice better think thrice.

Premium MemberNot Just Thrice

Always the Lord loves us much
not just thrice a day…
let's thank Him, spreading joy's peace!

God bountifully provides
surpassing triple blessings…
let's share with others!

The Saviour knows best
yon three times of what we planned…
let's trust* His sovereign power!

Premium MemberThrice Death

Thrice death has knocked at the same door

Husband, wife, brother are all gone

Fell victims to COVID-19, which I abhor

Thus all have seen eternity's dawn!*

passed on yesterday following the death of

Thrice Denied

Searching through the forest,
chasing dreams your sleep has wagered

And finding yourself in the mindless
spatial wasteland

You play two-handed poker
with the devil of your fright

The Prince holding just one card,
as you gamble it all…

Forever promising:
“This hand will be your ticket out”

He deals chance from the bottom,
this third time to be the charm

Your hand is folded,
as the present

Thrice

Grey ashen permeates
Your solitary existence.
Locked and shackled
At your minds insistence.
Presented my lively colors
Of sacrifice.
Happy hues rejected,
Not once, but thrice.
Some comprehend not,
What others endure,
To give endless color,
For another's dim world.
They seep in pity,
Harbor anger, complain.
Their self loathing black,
Sets fire to rain.

Thrice

They say death comes in threes
And love has killed me three times.
I am Lazarus and Odin,
I am Persephone
But I won't come back this time.
Yes, I could fly
But I like the sinking.
I sink like Osiris,
I am Lemminkainen
Dionysus has seen death and couldn't stop drinking
I am too drunk to follow Truth's direction

I can't make it right, I'm

Make It Thrice

Donald Trump once asked for my advice
On whether he should wed more than twice.
I said,"If God smiles on ya,
You'll wed the sweet Melania.
And make your weddings an even thrice."

Well, he took my advice as you see,
And he never said thank you to me.
But all things considered still -
She looks good up on the hill,
And she

Premium MemberTwo-Voice Tanka, Thrice

bathed in such splendor
in front of us blue water -
verdancy behind
how very cold it is though
like ice, it cuts to the bone
 
this frigid beauty
I let my eyes feast on it
ignoring the cold
the scent of pine is wafting
I breathe in tranquility
 
breathing in fragrance
I let the iciness go
my love shall warm me
the fresh trees and ocean air

Why does your cat only have nine lives?
The cat o'nine whip has three strands
Plaited cords unraveled thrice
Nine to three, three to three.
Cat plays bold for three
Strays for next three,
Stays in for
