rhymes

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

'verses' is the definition.
(I know this)

'frost's heard in kids'' is the wordplay.
'frost' becomes 'rime' (rime is frost by freezing water vapour).
'heard' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'in kids'' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'rime' sounds like 'rhyme'.
'rhyme'+'s'='RHYMES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rhymes that I've seen before include "Pieces of verse" , "Short poems" , "Nursery . . . . . . are simple ditties for children" , "Similar sounds at the ends of lines of poetry" , "Verses with same-sounding ends of lines" .)
