Opposed to a poem (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

averse

'opposed to' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a poem' is the wordplay.
'poem' becomes 'verse' (verse is a kind of poem).
'a'+'verse'='AVERSE'

(Other definitions for averse that I've seen before include "Disinclined - sounds like a poem" , "Loath, reluctant" , "Disinclined, maybe to hard work" , "Indisposed" , "Reaves (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
