A little less than, very near not quite
Always within an inch, borderline
Practically somewhere, nearly
Virtually within an inch
Just about pretty much
As good as it gets
Approximate
Relative
Almost
YOU..

Brilliant poem Mich. I have not encountered the Etheree and the way you have used the words and the structure is so clever 🙂

Mich, I have used the form for a later post in this challenge. It is fun and challenging to play with. Thanks again for the heads up.

Almost, but not quite. Almost isn’t “is” is it? Great piece.
How sad actually…..almost
