Short Substantially Poems

Is this a lie?
Do you believe the truth, in fact?
Is this a lie?

Dust, which  is  substantially  all  that was required, 
For the  creation of  the ordinary  mankind, 
And with a  powerful  gust  of  breath,

Book pages riffle dance
Feeling its steady glance
 
Thoughts soaked up
Dreams turnup

Nostalgic vault
 
Somber fingers
Forehead expression lingers
 
Outside world nonexistent
Substantially existent

Bittersweet impressions of parenting and children
Life goes fast and time substantially…
Whilst bonding, raising kids to grow
For them to consequently leave their family.

Some depart to other states and countries
Far far away from loved ones they had,

My ankles have increased substantially today
They are all fat and puffy and don’t yell “hooray!”
Thought they were diabolical at the end of May.

If I am not home, I have not walked very far away. 
My ankles have increased substantially today....

Joanie Woanie,
you phony baloney.
When you bake a cake or pie,
why is your price so high?

Your prices substantially fluctuate.
You can tell Sue and Eddie,
when you have your baked goods ready,
hold your prices steady.
Please listen to this,
if you want to keep my business....

Quinn, framed by the most proper name
Uttering her essence in pen,
Indispensably, provides men
Necessary musings for fame.
To remain ahead of the game,
Essential credentials must win
Substantially. Since she has been
Significant, Poets take aim.
Excellent expressions describe
Notable features of my muse,
That are what the doctor prescribed.
Ideal in all the ways her views
Allow her to be, as we vibe
Like the poetically fused....
