Triad Of Troubles 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.
