rhapsodic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be romantic' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'said porch turned out' is the wordplay.
'turned out' indicates an anagram (turn out can mean to organise).
'said'+'porch'='saidporch'
'saidporch' anagrammed gives 'RHAPSODIC'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rhapsodic that I've seen before include "of utter delight" , "Expressing delight" , "Like an irregular and emotional composition" , "Ecstatic, extravagantly enthusiastic" , "Expressing ecstatic feeling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
