The Versatility of a Word by John Herlihy Hour Such versatility in the word An indefinite hour Vagueness in the word A specific hour Exactness in the word An hour Possibility in the word The hour Destiny in the word One hour Unity in the word Every hour Totality in the word Some hours Generality in the word Hours Plurality in the word After an hour Delay in the word Fixed hour An appointment in the word After hours Time outside the hour Hour after hour Pulsation to the word Endless hours Infinity in the word The first hour Initial in the word The last hour The past in the word The final hour The end in the word The eternal hour Timelessness in the word - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Saturday 13 December 2025

The adaptability of language. This piece (IMO) reflects well how a word (or an idea) can adapt to varying circumstance, and shift meaning and function depending on context. To understand words as being dynamic, context-sensitive, and capable of multiple meanings, is a good mindset to have; especially for a Poet. Good insight, John. Well done. rlc
