Soldier dismissing odd parts in poem (3)
I believe the answer is:
ode
'poem' is the definition.
(ode is a type of poem)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ode that I've seen before include "A poem celebrating person or event" , "- - to a 12 Urn" , "Lyric poem" , "Lines" , "Literary work" .)
