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

This clue might be a double definition.

'good for food' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'example which a poet might use?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eye rhyme that I've seen before include "Similarity in spelling but not sound as in love and move" , "Love and move eg" , "scan piece of poetry" , "Maid said, for example" , "For example know how" .)
