Some lovers enjoy poetry (5)
I believe the answer is:
verse
'poetry' is the definition.
(I know that poetry can be written as verse)
'some lovers enjoy' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'VERSE' is hidden in the letters of 'lovers enjoy'.
(Other definitions for verse that I've seen before include "Part of a song or poem" , "Part of hymn" , "Poems" , "Stanza; poetry" , "Poetry, a poem" .)
