Andrea Dietrich Poet Quatern

Motivated By a Lot of Things

I'm motivated by a lot of things,
but getting up too early is not one!
I really hate when the alarm clock rings
and knowing that my dreaming time is done.

God's beauty can inspire my poetry.
I'm motivated by a lot of things:
by flowers in my yard; my pretty tree;
the sky at sunset; how a robin sings.

I love the season spring's first blossomings
and all the "firsts" that give to life its zest!
I'm motivated by a lot of things.
The start of all my weekends I like best!

I hate when good times end. I need to know
around the corner there are new beginnings
to keep me wanting to get up and go!
I'm motivated by a lot of things.

Heidi Sands July 22, 2021 at 5:21 PM This is inspiring to read and brings the motivation you describe so well. Nice one :)

Janice Canerdy July 21, 2021 at 1:14 PM Excellent quatern, Andrea. I enjoyed it! Janice

Supraja Kannan July 21, 2021 at 7:01 AM There are plenty of things around to motivate us and you beautifully described...

Sara Kendrick July 21, 2021 at 4:27 AM Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go for the contest. I used to say a lot, " a person isn't lazy they are just not motivated to work". All the time in life motivation makes a difference. Thanks for the visit to my page and no my poem was not for a contest. Sara

Nancy Kaufman July 20, 2021 at 4:21 PM I loved the words "that give to life it's zest". Your poem springs with motivation. Excellent write Ms. Andrea.

Rama Balasubramanian July 20, 2021 at 11:41 AM Many can relate to this poem. I feel like it's me writing this. Wonderful entry for contest. All the best

Delice Arleen Skelly July 20, 2021 at 9:26 AM Motivation is badly needed for those of us who aspire to write. The smallest setback can send us straight into a brick wall. I enjoyed your take on motivation Andrea....Delice

L Milton Hankins July 20, 2021 at 8:29 AM I, too, am seldom ready to get up when the alarm rings. I sleep late every morning. I earned that privilege in retirement. Lovely poem, Andrea. I, too, am motivated by lots of things, but one of them is not the sun staring at me through the bedroom blinds!

Vijay Pandit July 20, 2021 at 5:41 AM I like the flow of your poem. Lovely rhythm, Andrea. Many can relate to your theme.

Tom Cunningham July 20, 2021 at 5:12 AM We only have to look around us to be inspired to write, nature tops the list in my book. Hope your week is going well Andrea. Tom

Victor Buhagiar July 20, 2021 at 3:44 AM I wake at six in the morning, otherwise, I won't have time to read poems. But motivation is very low for me. Though I found a dehydrated orchid and spend the morning trying to revive it, It will take time though.
