Poiesis alos called bringing forth is how things are made or come to be. Take for example the LEGO castle that sits in your room. At first this was a pile of pieces but in order to become a castle you had to physically put the pieces together. That is one example of how things come to be when made by a person. Nature also has the ability to make things. When a bee visits a flower the pollen from that flower sticks to the bee. When the bee visits another flower some of that pollen falls off and pollinates the new flower allowing it to make seeds and fruit.
Poiesis is how things are made. Either by a person or nature.

It's good that you use some vivid examples to try to explain this difficult idea.
