POISED means you’ve been preparing for something and you’re about to do it or attain it.
If “She was poised to tell him” maybe she’s been waiting for the right moment and preparing herself to confess or deliver the news clearly.
Examples:
He was poised to become a successful businessman.
Our team was poised for victory.
I hope this helps. :)
