Home for a sailor with a poem (5)
I believe the answer is:
abode
'home' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'sailor with a poem' is the wordplay.
'sailor' becomes 'ab' (abbreviation for able seaman).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'a poem' becomes 'ode' (ode is a type of poem).
'ab'+'ode'='ABODE'
'for a' is the link.
(Other definitions for abode that I've seen before include "House, home" , "Where one lives" , "Archaic dwelling place" , "Pad" , "stay" .)
