Inherently
Causes singing, humming;
Provokes foot tapping and dancing.
Compells!...

provokes beginning of thoughts 
rising emotions 

burning sensation 
relieves all worries and doubt 
the rest up in smoke...

Of late,
I've been fearing
The slight sound of vechiles
It provokes the goosebumps in me
The reasons deeply sealed
I'd, when revealed,
Be doomed!...

Eloquent phraseology provokes the writer:
by the constant praise
and the persistent ways
of the writers gaze
as the job gets no raise

The breathtaking view of soft falling crystals, 
glimmering when caught in the morning rays,
provokes bitter-sweet nostalgia- though I know,
we are in the time of now, they will forever linger....

there is no peace 
when man fears the eyes of mann
when faint follies and karma
provokes silent sullen protest
mounted by cruelty
and thee essence of the raw mann
destine to rule over a people
in the meantime...

Poems speak, sing, murmur, rant; always from the heart,
Poetry provokes, relates, commands; it's art.
It doesn't require theory, strategy or too much time,
Just ink thoughts on the paper and scribble words that rhyme....

Ubiquitous sugars

Ultimately affects

Underlying gene cells

Unevolved mutations 

Urgent in researching 

Ultimatum provokes

Universal acclaim

Smugness in human behaviour
Is such an unappealing trait
A smug word ,a smug smile
Only provokes hate

If a smug superior attitude 
Is all you offer and deliver
Zip your mouth and lock it
And throw the key in the river!!...

defiant
     disdain
haughty
    self-reliance
envelops,
   then
     devours..
the proud:
taunts
provokes
    distrust,
if
never
unlearnt
becomes
    marooned
on
   an
     island
       of
           one..

Angst acutely augmented all crowding
Aligned to semisubmersible state
Safely seeking solitary succour
Propitious perfect proposal provokes
Reckoned rated Racoon River Retreat
Lay luxuriating lodge location
So surrounded, solitude saturates

What is coming to pass
with my anticipation,
when passed
provokes anxiety
about my loss.

What is coming to pass
with my anxiety,
when passed through
returns toward my grateful anticipation.

Then what is coming to pass
with this anticipation......

Pristine blank page,
please rouse most sage
to open wide,
no time to hide
the applesauce
dabbled across
my graying chin.
Endings begin

to manifest
beyond our quest
as consequence
provokes events
in frantic spin
to obscure sin:
a grounded arc
within the dark....

Can't  stand the word society
Provokes immediate anxiety
Same thing with psychiatry
It's the opposite of variety
It infuriates me justifiably
Makes me act defiantly
Almost all wrong entirely
I rebel against compliancy
Then I'll sit and have a quiet tea

The premise of your argument,
    Provokes blind faith, to disagree.
    Yet the answer to those questions
    What's true they cannot see.
    Those so called miracles divine,
    Could nature by perchance bestow,
    All wonders that confound belief,
    Mankind will never know.

magnetic fascination
kin to emancipation
a connection internal
stirs emotions supernal

nature is unparalleled  
provokes intoxication
as we feel deeply compelled
to exalt admiration

September’s serendipitous serenade
Evokes the ebullience of ecstasy 
Provokes a prancing promenade
Tingeing the torrid leaf tips
Exacting an elemental excitements
Monumental majesty
Blue-black horizons blending
Exotically enigmatic exigencies
Ruby reds rollicking in the Rockies

The last emperor, February chill, 
Provokes nostalgic lust for summer heat -
My cool companion, Snowman, bittersweet - 
I'll melt in hot embrace, he never will.

One vibrant life with season rapid flow, 
No time for a preparatory draft, 
Recapture every brush of nature's craft - 
And frolic in the sun and in the snow.
