Keats uses a question mark for the rhetorical questions at the start of La Belle Dame sans Merci. And Ian McEwan uses one for 'Or shall we die'? in his oratorio.
So some poets do, certainly.
Titles of poems should be put in inverted commas (quotation marks).
Quotation marks follow the question mark.
Question marks are the punctuation used when you ask a question. Here is an example: Can we go to the park today? This is the question mark: ?
No, question marks come before periods when forming a question within a sentence, for example: "Did you finish your homework?" If a full sentence is a question, the question mark is placed at the end, for example: "Where are you going?"
In American English, question marks typically go inside quotation marks if the quoted material itself is a question. For example: He asked, "Are you coming?" However, if the entire sentence is a question but the quoted material is not, the question mark goes outside the quotation marks, as in: Did she really say, "I will not attend"?

commas go after question marks
Yes.
In British English, speech marks generally go before the question mark. In American English, the placement can vary depending on whether the question mark is part of the quoted material. It's best to follow the style guide or preference of the publication you are writing for.
With NO exceptions, periods and commas go INSIDE the quotation marks. However, question marks (if the question comes at the end of the sentence) are put following the clause with the quotation marks outside the question mark. If there are two clauses within the sentence separated by a conjunction, and there is a semi colon required, the semi colon at the end of the first clause goes outside the quotation marks.
It depends if the quotation is a question or statement. If the quote is a question, the quotation mark goes before the punctuation; if the quotation requires a period, the marks goes outside of the statement.
Indirect questions do not require question marks because they are structured as statements rather than direct inquiries. For example, in the sentence "I wonder where she went," the phrase "where she went" is an indirect question and is punctuated with a period. In contrast, direct questions, like "Where did she go?" do use question marks.
