Lyric poem in chapter is excluded (5)
I believe the answer is:
epode
'lyric poem' is the definition.
'epode' can be an answer for 'lyric' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'poem' bit.
'chapter is excluded' is the wordplay.
'chapter' becomes 'episode' (I've seen this before).
'excluded' is a deletion indicator.
'episode' with 'is' taken away is 'EPODE'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for epode that I've seen before include "Form of lyric poem" , "verse form" , "lines" , "Kind of lyric ode" .)
