Sailor gets poem home (5)
I believe the answer is:
abode
'home' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'sailor gets poem' is the wordplay.
'sailor' becomes 'ab' (abbreviation for able seaman).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'poem' becomes 'ode' (ode is a type of poem).
'ab'+'ode'='ABODE'
(Other definitions for abode that I've seen before include "House, home" , "stay" , "Home or domicile" , "Dwelling, residence" , "Place of residence" .)
