Hi & welcome to MrExcel
How about
Code: 
Sub Coosa41()
   Dim Cl As Range
   With Range("A1", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      .Replace "Period", True, xlWhole, , False, , False, False
      For Each Cl In .SpecialCells(xlConstants, xlLogical).Areas
         Cl.Resize(3).EntireRow.Delete
      Next Cl
   End With
End Sub
