'he writes beautifully' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

(Other definitions for poet that I've seen before include "Heaney or Yeats, say" , "Bridges possibly" , "Pound, say" , "author" , "Ginsberg perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
