Poet goes up in smoke (5)
I believe the answer is:
burns
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'poet' is the first definition.
(Rabbie Burns 1759-1796 the Scottish poet)
'goes up in smoke' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for burns that I've seen before include "is full of passion" , "What Tyger does for Blake" , "Is on fire" , "Scottish lyricist" , "Overcooks" .)
