Recurring themes (6)

I believe the answer is:

motifs

'recurring themes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for motifs that I've seen before include "Designs or symbols" , "Concepts" , "Repeated themes" , "Recurring designs" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the King Feature Syndicate, the Sydney Morning Herald and the LA Times.
