Model has verse (3)
I believe the answer is:
ode
'verse' is the definition.
(ode is a type of poem or verse)
'model has' is the wordplay.
'has' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ODE' is hidden within 'model'.
(Other definitions for ode that I've seen before include "Lines" , "poetry" , "Poem expressing noble feelings" , "Sung poem" , "Literary work" .)
