No not at all. Some poems are written in prose paragraphs. They are called prose poems. They are still fully poems because they convey a poetic moment from the poet to the listener. They make use of other devices besides lines to create effect. Often vowel sounds, consonants, and syntax will create the density and aural fabric of the poem much as you might find in free verse but without lines. Yet it is a poem because it carries the poetic energy across time and space.
