Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Poème is masculine. While it does derive from Latin "poema" (neuter), the masculine gender in French is primarily due to the influence of the masculine ending "-ème" in French, which became associated with masculine nouns. However, the specific claim about "-me" being associated with masculine nouns in Romance languages is not well-supported; the actual gender assignment likely resulted from analogical reanalysis during the Latin-to-French transition rather than a systematic pattern with the "-me" ending.
