Before, in poetry (3)

I believe the answer is:

'before in poetry' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ere that I've seen before include "Old word for before" , "Before (poetic)" , "Archaic word for before - a palindrome" , "Before (literary)" , "Before (in poetry)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the Penny Press, The New York Times, the Universal, the LA Times, The Wall Street Journal and the Newsday.
