School punishment in writing poetry? (5)
I believe the answer is:
lines
'school punishment' is the definition.
(writing the same thing over and over)
'writing poetry?' is the wordplay.
'writing' becomes 'line' (line is a kind of writing).
'poetry?' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'line'+'s'='LINES'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lines that I've seen before include "Skin wrinkles" , "Ranks" , "Marks" , "Wrinkles; rail tracks" , "Actor's text" .)
