Seasonal post with strings attached? (7)
I believe the answer is:
maypole
'seasonal post with strings attached?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'post with strings attached?' is the wordplay.
'post' becomes 'pole' (I've seen this in other clues).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'strings attached?' becomes 'may' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'pole' after 'may' is 'MAYPOLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for maypole that I've seen before include "Centre of ribbon dance" , "Traditional dancing venue" , "Feature of traditional spring festivities" , "focal point for dancers" , "Decorated springtime post" .)
