How many different ideas can one word hold?!

Try looking at the word tack.

Choose a word that has multiple definitions, or that can be used in many ways. Try using it in as many different sentences so that it carries many different ideas.

That should keep you busy for the next 70 years or so.


(Meanwhile, because I haven't got the poetry book shelves with me, would you all mind if I asked you to be quiet now, so I can listen to some spoken poetry? You can listen if you want.)
