Serve up some poetry (5)
I believe the answer is:
verse
'some poetry' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'serve up' is the wordplay.
'up' indicates an anagram (letters get chucked up).
'serve' anagrammed gives 'VERSE'.
(Other definitions for verse that I've seen before include "Poems" , "Poetry - subdivision of the Bible" , "Piece of poetry" , "Metrical text" , "Part of a song or poem" .)
