Conversed about some poetry (5)
I believe the answer is:
verse
'poetry' is the definition.
(I know that poetry can be written as verse)
'conversed about some' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'VERSE' can be found hidden inside 'conversed about'.
(Other definitions for verse that I've seen before include "Part of a song or poem" , "Poetry, a poem" , "Stanza; poetry" , "Section of a poem" , "Literature in metrical form" .)
