Crossword Genius

Beside wrought iron, caught like a poet (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

byronic

'like a poet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'beside wrought iron caught' is the wordplay.
'beside' becomes 'by'.
'wrought' indicates anagramming the letters (wrought means beaten into a new shape).
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'iron' anagrammed gives 'roni'.
'by'+'roni'+'c'='BYRONIC'

(Other definitions for byronic that I've seen before include "Passionate and romantic, like English poet Lord" , "Poet's" , "mad, bad, and dangerous to know?" , "Darkly romantic" , "Highly romantic" .)
