Pigeon poet? (5)
I believe the answer is:
homer
I believe this is a double definition.
'pigeon' is the first definition.
(homer is a kind of pigeon)
'poet?' is the second definition.
(Homer is an example)
(Other definitions for homer that I've seen before include "linesman" , "Greek poet - TV's Simpson" , "successful run in America?" , "Measure < of poet's" , "returning flier" .)
