Opposed to one piece of poetry (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

averse

'opposed' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'one piece of poetry' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'a'.
'piece of poetry' becomes 'verse' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'verse'='AVERSE'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for averse that I've seen before include "Having a strong opposition (to)" , "Loath, reluctant" , "'Opposed, disinclined (6)'" , "Antipathetic" , "Not in favour of" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
