Core modern poetry (3)
I believe the answer is:
ode
'poetry' is the definition.
(ode is a type of poem)
'core modern' is the wordplay.
'ODE' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ode that I've seen before include "- - to a 12 Urn" , "Sung poem" , "Poem expressing noble feelings" , "Literary work" , "Poetic composition" .)
