Crossword Genius

Good person has articles about New Zealand verse (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stanza

'verse' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'good person has articles about new zealand' is the wordplay.
'good person' becomes 'st' (saint).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'articles' becomes 'aa' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'new zealand' becomes 'nz'.
'aa' enclosing 'nz' is 'anza'.
'st'+'anza'='STANZA'

(Other definitions for stanza that I've seen before include "Division of a poem" , "A verse of poetry" , "piece by poet" , "Verse of poem" , "Poetic unit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
