Poetry from overseas (5)
I believe the answer is:
verse
'poetry' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'from overseas' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'VERSE' is hidden in the letters of 'overseas'.
(Other definitions for verse that I've seen before include "Metrical text" , "Poetry - subdivision of the Bible" , "Part of hymn" , "Literature in metrical form" , "Piece of poetry" .)
