Motive Poems | Examples

Be Happy Anyway

Accept what is in ur play
Don't be grey
Keep going on the ray
Have your say
No pressure to stay
Do not let your mind sway
Follow your way
Be happy anyway

Silent Motive

My timid heart is at a standstill 
Quiet through her gentle whisper
She gazes my way with disquietude 
Can this be? 
She empathizes with my habitual dolor?
Are we one and the same?
Her beauty reflects her buried affliction 
Her coming and going reflects her astuteness 
Her downfall of fallacy attests to her reality 
The persistence shines upon her personality 
Truth prevails through her love for humanity

Plum blooms coated the lawn floor,
Swept from trees by wind abhor
Stars ne'er root me much concern
I'm quite taut with Earth discern
Stars, as blooms, are grand to glance
That display crowns a drudge stance
A sprout holds a wealth insight
I deem beat to view fruits sight.


Great Motive

Let situations
Be your motivation
For restoration.
With acclamation.

Let no aberration
Nor excoriation,
Disturb your focus.
Stay put in your direction.

Hidden Agenda

There's more to it than meets the eye,
A look we can't deny.
Beneath the surface, a hidden plan,
A secret scheme, a hidden hand.

Behind every smile, every word,
A motive, a mission, is inferred.
A hidden agenda lies within,
A purpose that's not always seen.

Sometimes it's for good, sometimes for ill,
A hidden agenda can't be still.
It moves and shifts, it's never clear,
A game of chess, a strategy near.

It's the unspoken words that reveal,
The true intent that we conceal.
A hidden agenda can be sly,
It can deceive, it can belie.

It's a double-edged sword we wield,
A weapon that can't be easily healed.
A hidden agenda can be a trap,
A snare that we can't escape from, in a snap.

But it can also be a force for good,
A way to help, a way to understood.
A hidden agenda can be kind,
A secret that can heal the blind.

So be careful with the hidden plan,
For it can lead to either ban or fan.
Choose wisely, and use it well,
For the hidden agenda can cast a spell.

Reading Secret Heart

Find out Jang can one's motive,
When ones glances are furtive.
Then,Jang can reach secret heart
And bare lay it like A chart
Veiled thoughts soon to him native:
The ones you wouldn't out give...

Catch I can next man's motive
From his mood that got pensive,
From sounds suddenly plosive;
"No money for pledged votive"

Looks that towards a roof dart
You don't need to ask:"what's that?"
It's all there on a charged face
With gross thoughts having a race:
The purse-tight lips of Fred Prize
Jang can see wish to be wise!


Punishing a Defaulting Unionist

Loosen now his tight valves.
You do nothing by halves 
Not like you've bruised his calves
While he's not got what salves...

His tube deflate through valve:
With six-inch nail hit valve,
The air in tube to halve;
When cops into it delve,
Say "A case of mad valve!"

Ask me my opinion:
It's a heart cast- iron:
A daring to pinion
The arms of one's union,
Dues slicing like onion
In Crowned Lion's Union.

Motionless Motive

Until universities' unions 
Unite unrelentingly ulcerates
Unleashing unspeakable ugly urge

Premium Member In Suppression of Treason What Motive Or Reason

Irony, often, enacts comically fatal roles,
Brings dignitaries down from their highest pedestal poles; 

Sometimes, in a symbolically pragmatic costume,
Of the protagonist, destruction its role does assume;

Julia Gillard, Australian feminist Prime Minister,
Kitten heels!  Fell over public! Earned laughter sinister!

Unprejudiced slip! Humiliated tentatively!
Escorts and envoys, though, waited on her attentively!

Her fall followed her fiery address on male chauvinism,
Fall on grass and fall-from-grace were linked to her feminism;

Did Julia Gillard abet the Western Australian State,
From the crown of the United Kingdom to terminate?

The alleged treason, with her falls, harmed her reputation,
As her opponents wished, these led to her resignation;

Conservatism of foes, I'd conclude, is cause of her fall,
To cry in wilderness, yet, she has felt, has been her call...!

Premium Member In Suppression of Treason What Motive Or Reason

A prime minister of Land Down Under -
from her role she had been put asunder.
I've been reading of texts
and jokes made of her sex,
but about her I still have to wonder . . .

I surmise mostly Aussies would know
more exactly why she was let go,
I sure wish I knew
that at "Beyond Blue"
she was doing kids good. Do you think so?

For Joe Maverick's contest regarding Julia Gillard. Title is to be same as the name of this contest.
It's the best I could come up with from my research but I do not understand
Australian politics very well.

Thought About Murder

Rain falling
Wind blowing
Snug under the duvet
Four heartbeats and just a moment from sleeping 
Thought about murder
Had no motive; no reason
Needed not an opportunity; nor means
Four heartbeats and just a moment from sleeping 
My feet were warm
My bladder was empty
The alarm clock was set
Four heartbeats and just a moment from sleeping 
Just a thought; about murder
A thought about a perfect murder
Thought about appearances, juries and judges
Four heartbeats and just a moment from sleeping
I wasn’t ill-intentioned
No wrongs on my mind 
Snug under the duvet
Four heartbeats and just a moment from sleeping
Thought about the election
Character assassination
Losing gratitude
Suddenly sleepless; under the duvet

Loco Motive

what was going
through your
mind when
you tied
her to
the

tracks


i think i can

Motive

Motive

[...] corações bondosos 
são os jardins, 
pensamentos amáveis 
são as raízes, 
palavras amáveis são as flores
ações amáveis são os frutos.

Em resumo:
você pode motivar melhor
com palavras gentis 
do que com um chicote.

Loco Motive

be my engineer
heat me to
boiling

open my mouth
stoke my fire
shoveling

words in
but save
one

chunk of
coal that
was

heated
but now
has cooled

and as is time
for all time
this will be

ours as coal 
becomes a
diamond

Motive

Motive

Em resumo:
você pode motivar melhor
com palavras gentis 
do que com um chicote.
