He would send many poems to Baghdad.
أَشْعَارًا — poems. This is the direct object of 'send' and it is plural in an irregular, internally reshaped way: the word changes its inner pattern to mark 'many', rather than just adding an ending. The -an ending shows it is an indefinite object, so 'poems' here means some unspecified, uncounted poems.
