this belongs in https://github.com/python-poetry/install.python-poetry.org/

except

• there is already an open issue saying the same thing eg Windows Server Install: ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate install.python-poetry.org#112
• but even then: the certificates on poetry's website are surely fine and so this is going to be a problem at your end anyway

please close this, chip in on python-poetry/install.python-poetry.org#112 if you have something new to add

Try running this command: pip install certifi. This will fix the certificate problem.
