Short of Almost

There it was for me to play with:
words that fit today...
tying up ends
preparing for the more of...
finally
holding onto whatever it takes
to make the short of almost
become.

Seems like "almost" is a word like "but".  Wish we didn't feel we needed to use them so much!

I was reading on another site where they mentioned a description for a new color called "short straw" for a crayola crayon  and described it as slightly between off off white and yellow and he responded "short of almost"...they were making up names for  crayons for fun

anyway it brought about an almost poem
