I believe you mean, "Do the first letters of every line in a poem have to be capitalized?" I am also assuming you are then quoting the poem.

The answer is that it depends upon the poem. If the beginning of every line in a poem is capitalized, then, yes, when you quote it you must capitalize it. If, however, the original text does not capitalize the first letter in a line then you don't. The thing you must remember to do, when quoting from a poem within your own writing, is to mark the end of each line with a /, so that it is clear where each line begins and ends. If you are quoting more than about four lines, then you probably need to indent it and replicate the poem's original layout.

If you are asking because you are writing your own poetry - then you may do whatever you believe works best for your poem.
