I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a personal right' is the definition.
'freedom of speech' can be an answer for 'right' (freedom of speech is a kind of right). I'm unsure of the 'a personal' bit.

'cheered off poems using' is the wordplay.
'using' indicates an anagram (the letters used in a different way).
'cheered'+'off'+'poems'='cheeredoffpoems'
'cheeredoffpoems' is an anagram of 'FREEDOM OF SPEECH'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for freedom of speech that I've seen is " civil right".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
