Turn down the insanity
and
  take my hand
fingers splayed
in
  hopeful return
of
secrets half known
  of you
wished fully by me...

If you turn down the lights in your mind,
everything begins to turn grey,
then it would be a bit difficult to see around
and for the predators, you might be a good prey...

Simple tune
I'm not in the mood right now
as I turn down the hall
Rinkled soon
I'm in a  melting mood
but I can't feel much more
than that girl
no one see's my life now...

Just saw an image of a sweet young lass
Starting to tremble my parts they do flap
Uncontrollable drooling
Great passion it's fueling
Must be careful, must turn down the tap...

To the party, you were not invited. 
As anyone else, you feel slighted. 
When they turn down their thumbs, 
to hell with those bums. 
You are a good man who deserves to be knighted.

Inspired by another member's poem...

Loud
Explosive soundings
Environmental vibration eradicate motion
Bombarded sensory thee volumed
Dropped focused turn down
Ribbed quiet
Silence

light reflecting light. . . 
my face becomes a mirror
when I am smiled at

cold countenances
and man's inhumanity
make my mouth turn down

Sunset Advice

The sun was setting
in the small coastal town.
The advice he was getting
he wouldn't turn down.
"Ask her here, where Earth's arms open wide;
I promise she'll say yes and make a beautiful bride."

Did I turn the right corner of life .  The decisions of life have lead 
Me to this new point of life.  Also how I make decision will decide on 
Tomorrow
Shall I turn down this road or that.  Fate will
Lead me down the pathway of destiny one with spirit....

Hurray, hurray!
It’s a special day.
Grandma’s counting beans. 

Pick the rocks, 
Turn down your socks.
Grandma’s counting beans. 

In the pot, 
That’s what she taught.
One, two and three for free.

Stir the hot,
Hit’s the spot, 
What a "hum" we’ll be…...

Is she a prattler or a tattler?
I was unsure
My ears had stopped listening to her long ago
She was perpetually speaking

Her mouth probably talked in her sleep
When I saw her coming, I put in my earbuds
For not only was she annoying
You could not turn down her volume...

Which one is worse
A parent not being able
To feed her kids because
They can’t afford to put
Food on the table
             OR
A state who chooses to
Turn down food allowances
That can help feed hundreds of
Hungry children, isn’t that
Also considered child abuse
So, which is worse

True Radiance

There is no glow as bright as a mother
With her firstborn in her arms;
Disheveled like the sun rays
Of a child’s Crayola sun.

A smile that stretches and freezes for days,
Except while her eyes turn down and gaze
Upon that radiance of her loving babe
Eyes to eyes in love....

I see the water drip from its petals,
in the dirty,brown dirt,
the water settles.
The sun hasn't been out for days,
to spread its light,
or shine its rays,
against the soft texture,
it starts to decay.
The leaves turn down,
against the ground, 
the rose,
is no longer a rose,
its brown....

When Sunday dinner is through
There’s something you must not do
Don’t flush Yorkshire Pudding
It could cause bad flooding
In toilets - wee paper or pooh!

Inspired by story on Sky News - you know me guys I just couldn't turn down the opportunity to do a limerick!

Out late tossin' the rag.
Turn down Barney Jenkins Road.
Big 'ol square white
house, freshly makeshift
sign in the lawn.
It reads:
SUNDAY SCHOOL 11AM
Ain't that beautiful?
Ain't that how the world
should turn?
Stick a sign on ya lawn
an' let the people come
right on in.
He's probably
a pedophile....

It’s too bright in here.
Someone turn down the lights.
I’m being blinded by the fluorescent lights
and the fluorescent clothing, the too
sweet smiles coupled with
a sarcastic attitude meant to be
subtle but failing.
I’m sick of you telling me
who I am or who I should be,
at least in the dark we’re all equal....

I don't need 
 Him any more
 As I lift my hands up
 And dance across the
 It a pain to keep
 Our love going
 Never knowing
 Who say this or
 Who says that.
 I don't like any of it
 Turn down his voice
 I keep hearing
 In my head
 I will lay Down my heart
 And walk away 
 I feel I have
 No choice..........

A week of triple digits.
The birds stay low.
No sign of life, except
gophers scuttling across dry grass

making for the lower regions. 
Roots, tubers and bulbs. Gophers
turn down and inward, thrive
on lonely. 

Look, here’s one that feels
the vibration of our feet 
and scuttles off again.
Lowly, homely, alive....

A man who enjoyed writing code
once took a wrong turn down a road.
Forsaking recursion,
he took an excursion,
now dabbles in sonnets and odes.

His java is still close at hand,
but now it is black and smells grand.
Who needs a compiler?
Just hike a two-miler;
the bugs are all out on the land.

Come on in
Do you want a beer
It's good to see you
I'm glad you're here

Kick off your shoes
Get off your feet
Come lay with me
I'll turn down the sheet

I can feel your stress
I always can you know
It's been a long day
Let all your worries go

Stay as long as you like
There's nothing to fear
I love you
I'm glad you're here...
