Welcome to Flashback Fridays!
A blog series where I share poems, short stories, and other pieces I wrote a while ago, and am revisiting now! (Check out the masterlist here–and the masterlist of Freewrites, pieces of recent writing, here!)

This month’s Flashback: ‘Power of Three’!
I’m not a poet–not in the slightest–but this one comes from a 200-word poetry collection I had to write for a mandatory module in my Creative Writing degree. I’m aware that–according to my tutor, anyway–poetry ought to have nuance and hidden meanings, and I don’t think this one does in the slightest… But I like it anyway. 🤷🏻♀️

Power of Three
The power of three;
past, present, future;
triangle family tree.
.
Fervent divorcee,
One: phoenix from ash,
born anew from shed debris.
.
Fighting escapee,
Two: human suture,
shield of witty repartee.
.
Unborn entity,
Three: a cleared cache,
a new cause for jubilee.
.
Liberation through decree.
Heartbeat in timpani.
The future: she could be free.
That’s a lovely poem! Well done!
