Poppy is going to be denied No matter where you are. So you get pushed to your tower and just last hit. If you do it right, you can keep the minion wave just outside tower range indefinitely, and if they push it you can smack them into a wall. I bring a regrowth pendent and when I get around 900 gold go back for boots and philo stone.

I try and save my Q's for the other guy, but I will use it to last hit if I need to. (remember it resets the animation so if you go into last hit and just miss it, then hit q) I have mana regen increasing per level yellows to help with the early sustain, but mostly I use my skills sparingly. Once you get the philo stone it helps a bit. But Poppy is burst, so you want to try and bait them to where you can do the most damage. (near walls, or my favorite, get behind them and knock them towards your tower.)

I also run with heal. So even when I am low I am more bait for a tower dive then I am vulnerable.
