Many Meanings Poem by Douglas Scotney

Talk about 2 meanings of 'chair'.

Of all the words with meanings 5,
you wouldn't think 1 would be 'tent':

1 is the 1 everyone knows;

2 is a medical 1 (look it up for yourself):

3 is a deep-red Spanish wine;

4 is Scottish,
for 'to attend to';

with embroidery
is 5 to do -
a tent is a frame and a stitch.

1 and 5
are from Latin tendere to stretch;

3 is from tinctus to dye;

2 comes from tentare to try.
