Almost

by Michael D Nalley   Jul 4, 2007


I almost fell in love once
You know I almost cried
I was almost born
Before I almost died

I almost wrote a poem to you
But the words came out wrong
I almost said I love you
While you listened to my song

I almost went to heaven
Before I was a saint
We almost painted a masterpiece
Before we learned to paint

    This piece is so short, yet it really makes a statement. It is creative and so unique.

    I almost fell in love once
    You know I almost cried
    I was almost born
    Before I almost died

    This is a wonderful way to start, it is gripping and almost like a riddle, in the way it kind of makes people think.

    I almost wrote a poem to you
    But the words came out wrong
    I almost said I love you
    While you listened to my song

    There is emotion here, but not the simple, basic, same overused, tiered mundane emotion of I love you. It stands out. And its a nice touch.

    I almost went to heaven
    Before I was a saint
    We almost painted a masterpiece
    Before we learned to paint

    This provides such imagery, while the rest of the piece is description. Either way it is fantastic. Excellent piece. 5/5
