Generally (though standards ay differ) longer works are italicized and shorter works are in quotes. That's to say that books, be they poems or otherwise, are italicized (The Iliad, for example, is a poem, but it's italicized). Short stories and shorter poems are in quotes.

For titles of most poems use use quotation marks. Long poems that are often published as stand-alone books (such as epics) should be italicized.

Examples:

"Ode to a Nightingale"

"The Jabberwocky"

(Underlining is a convention from typewritten or handwritten text, and not generally used in modern machine printed text).

Normally, no. When you refer to a poem by title, you put the title in quotes; for example, "The Raven," by Edgar Allen Poe. An exception would be a very long poem that is a major work in itself, such as The Iliad.
