Recital of Frost's poetry (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rhyme

'poetry' is the definition.
(rhyme is a type of poetry)

'recital of frost's' is the wordplay.
'recital of' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'frost' becomes 'rime' (rime is frost formed by freezing water vapour).
'rime' sounds like 'RHYME'.

(Other definitions for rhyme that I've seen before include "Verse, doggerel" , "Poe's was sort of Runic" , "Sound correspondence" , "often quoted with reason" , "Bit of poetry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Times and The Guardian.
