I'd written up poetry that's different (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diverse

'different' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'i'd written up poetry' is the wordplay.
'written up' is a reversal indicator.
'poetry' becomes 'verse' (synonyms).
'id' in reverse letter order is 'di'.
'di'+'verse'='DIVERSE'

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for diverse that I've seen before include "Differing" , "Widely varied" , "Many and various" , "I served in many ways" , "Revised, being of different kinds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
