Present poetically, even groom (5)
I believe the answer is:
preen
'groom' is the definition.
(a bird grooms itself by preening feathers)
'present poetically even' is the wordplay.
'present poetically' becomes 'pr' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'poetically' bit.).
'even' becomes 'e'en' (old-fashioned contraction).
'pr'+'een'='PREEN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for preen that I've seen before include "Groom (oneself) with evident vanity" , "Congratulate (oneself); attend to dress" , "Maintain" , "Titivate oneself" , "Groom elaborately" .)
