Why is it masculine?

Poemas is masculine in Portuguese. It derives from Latin "poēma" (neuter). In Portuguese, many Latin neuter nouns (particularly those ending in -a) were reassigned to the masculine gender during the language's development. This is a common pattern in Portuguese for words of Greek origin ending in -a, which became masculine rather than feminine.
