Her life is a trilogy,
an unholy trinity
in a three-dimensional world:
past, present, future, unaligned,
thrice the fun and three times the pain,
again and again and again,
tied to herself
in a three-legged race,
she is three-faced.

My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Photo Challenge #158 and linked to Imaginary Garden with Real Toads Tuesday Platform
writing in north norfolk 
tied to herself
in a three-legged race… fantastic line!

I really like this one. She’s like a mythological being–Janus plus the three fates or Macbeth’s witches. There’s a chanting quality to the poem, too.

A bit creepy with a mix of dark-comedy …at least for me. 😎
