Sailor took poem home (5)
I believe the answer is:
abode
'home' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'sailor took poem' is the wordplay.
'sailor' becomes 'ab' (abbreviation for able seaman).
'took' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'poem' becomes 'ode' (ode is a type of poem).
'ab'+'ode'='ABODE'
(Other definitions for abode that I've seen before include "House, home" , "Home or domicile" , "Dwelling, residence" , "Where one lives" , "Pad" .)
