I haven't yet heard of one without poetry. Generally poetry works in a style of stress and metre rather than rhyiming (true in English to, but Homer was the all-time king of this). In Old English (Anglo Saxon) alliteration was a big part of poetry. You would not necessarily recognize it as poetry, but if you study it enough, there is generally method to the madness.
Indeed, the Old testament, in its original Hebrew comes with musical notes for singing.

Yes, every language has poetry, but the poetic forms are different. In fact, if you want to see examples of poetry in American Sign Language, you can click on my avatar and see the question I asked about it a while ago.

Absolutely! Poetry is a universal language in itself...everyone can speak it at some point. The fact that the words or symbols are different doesn't matter; every language/country has its poets.
