I just did a search in my main news server's active file (where most, if
not all, text newsgroup names should exist. I searched for all groups
ending in '.poe':

egrep -i '\.poe ' active
alt.music.poe 0000000000 0000000001 y
perl.poe 0000000000 0000000001 m

That shows two groups, alt.music.poe and perl.poe, both contain no
messages. So currently, there does not appear to be such a group that I
can find.
