Writing from overseas (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

verse

'writing' is the definition.
(verse is a kind of writing)

'from overseas' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'VERSE' is hidden within 'overseas'.

(Other definitions for verse that I've seen before include "few lines of writing?" , "Poetry - subdivision of the Bible" , "literary offering" , "Section of a poem" , "Poetry, a poem" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
