Why is it masculine?

Poemas is masculine in Spanish because it derives from Latin "poēma" (neuter), but when adopted into Spanish, words ending in "-ma" of Greek origin typically became masculine, following the pattern of Latin masculine nouns ending in "-a" like "problema" and "sistema." This represents a gender reassignment that occurred during the Romance language evolution from Latin.
