From the word’s history

From Old French poetrie, from Medieval Latin poētria, from Latin poēta 'poet', from Greek poiētēs 'maker, poet'.

經古法文、中世紀拉丁文來自拉丁文 poēta「詩人」,原為希臘文。

Wiktionary

Picture writing where every word has been weighed — the line breaks where it breaks on purpose, the sound matters as much as the meaning, and a lot is said in very little. Once you have that feeling in your ear, English lends it to things that are not written at all: a movement so beautifully done that it feels composed rather than just performed.

可以想成:一種每個字都被秤過重量的寫法——哪裡斷行是故意的,聲音跟意思一樣要緊,用很少的話裝很多東西。一旦耳朵抓住了那個感覺,英文就把它借給根本不是文字的東西:一個動作漂亮到讓人覺得那不只是做出來的,而是「寫」出來的。
