Insult poet when single? (4)
I believe the answer is:
burn
This clue could be a double definition.
'insult poet' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'single?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for burn that I've seen before include "Incinerate" , "Brand" , "Feel hot, small stream" , "Use as fuel" , "Catch fire; small stream" .)
