Like some verses using this writer's pen (6)
I believe the answer is:
iambic
'like some verses using' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'writer's pen' is the wordplay.
'writer's' becomes 'iam' ('I am' refers to the person writing).
'pen' becomes 'bic' (pen manufacturer).
'iam'+'bic'='IAMBIC'
'this' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for iambic that I've seen before include "description of some verse" , "Of verse, made up of metrical feet - may be pentameter" , "Kind of verse form with lines of five feet, each with two syllables" , "Kind of metric foot in poetry" , "Type of verse" .)
