I believe the answer is:

everso

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'poetry finally moving' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'love really' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'ever' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'really' becomes 'so' (both can mean 'extremely').
'ever'+'so'='EVERSO'

'needs' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Times.
