Some poetry from Roderick (3)
I believe the answer is:
ode
'some poetry' is the definition.
(ode is a type of poem)
'from roderick' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ODE' can be found hidden inside 'roderick'.
(Other definitions for ode that I've seen before include "(Railway)system" , "Poem expressing noble feelings" , "Lines" , "- - to a 12 Urn" , "poetry" .)
