Does rewrite some verses (4)
I believe the answer is:
odes
'some verses' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'does rewrite' is the wordplay.
'rewrite' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'rewritten' mean this).
'does' anagrammed gives 'ODES'.
(Other definitions for odes that I've seen before include "To a Skylark, To a Nightingale etc" , "Keats was fond of them" , "Songs" , "Poems in praise" , "verse" .)
