can I say that a poem has paragraphs?

Answer 1

No poems do not have paragraphs. Instead they are called stanzas.

Answer 2

Stanzas not paragraphs

Answer 3

Naomi Shihab Nye takes on big questions by focusing in on matters of daily life--the only kind we live. In Mint Snowball, her book of paragraphs, Nye's author’s note reads as follows: “I think of these pieces as simple paragraphs rather than 'prose poems,' though a few might sneak into the prose poem category, were they traveling on their own. The paragraph, standing by itself, has a lovely pocket-sized quality. It garnishes the page as mint might garnish a plate. Many people say (foolishly of course) that they “don’t like poetry” but I’ve never heard anyone say they don’t like paragraphs. It would be like disliking five minute increments on the clock.”
