If you are ever unsure about underlines and quotes just remember short literary works go in quotes and long ones get underlined or italicized. So for a poem- it depends. For The Illiad you would use underlines or italics because it is a work unto itself. "I Hear America Singing" would get quotes since it's pretty short and part of a collection. I don't know if there's an actual rule of thumb on this, "Song of Myself" would be tricky since it's about 75 pages long, but I would say if it could be published on its own then it gets italics/underlines but if it's part of a collection then you would do quotes.

There are a number of ways to designate a title for a book, movie, TV show, poem, etc. They are to put the name between quote marks, to italicize or bold, or to underline the title. Whichever you use, be sure to capitalize the first letters of each word in a title. But if your teacher insists that there is only one proper way, do it that way.
