Main Difference
The main difference between Pose and Poise is that the Pose is a Windows components Wikimedia list article and Poise is a unit of dynamic viscosity.

Pose
Human positions refer to the different physical configurations that the human body can take.
There are several synonyms that refer to human positioning, often used interchangeably, but having specific nuances of meaning.
Position is a general term for a configuration of the human body
Posture means an intentionally or habitually assumed position
Pose implies artistic or aesthetic intention of the position
Attitude refers to postures assumed for purpose of imitation, intentional or not, as well as in some standard collocations in reference to some distinguished types of posture: “Freud never assumed a fencer’s attitude, yet almost all took him for a swordsman.”
Bearing refers to the manner of the posture, as well as of gestures and other aspects of the conduct taking place

Poise
The poise (symbol P; ) is the unit of dynamic viscosity (absolute viscosity) in the centimetre–gram–second system of units. It is named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille (see Hagen–Poiseuille equation).

The poise is often used with the metric prefix centi- because the viscosity of water at 20 °C (NTP) is almost exactly 1 centipoise. A centipoise is one hundredth of a poise, or one millipascal-second (mPa⋅s) in SI units (1 cP = 10−3 Pa⋅s = 1 mPa⋅s).
The CGS symbol for the centipoise is cP. The abbreviations cps, cp, and cPs are sometimes seen.
Liquid water has a viscosity of 0.00890 P at 25 °C and a pressure of 1 atmosphere (0.00890 P = 0.890 cP = 0.890 mPa⋅s).
