Is it true that poems are legally copyrighted if you just put Copyright and the symbol for it and then the year by Authors Name All Rights Reserved at the bottom of the page?

Yes. Formal registration is not required in countries in the World Trade Organization, and in many cases is not even available.

In the United States, a poem is automatically copyrighted once it is fixed in a tangible form, such as being written down. You do not need to include the copyright symbol or "All Rights Reserved" to establish copyright. However, including this information can help deter potential infringement and strengthen your legal position if a copyright dispute arises.
