No. No "good" poem will have "only" onomatopoeia. Poetry uses a variety of literary devices and techniques. The all-encompassing name for these is poetics.
However, some poems are heavily-laden with onomatopoeia. One example might be "The Windhover" by Gerard Manley Hopkins, a Sonnet which describes the flight of a falcon. (The poem is not about a falcon, however.) That poem makes use of alliteration, rhythm and onomatopoeia to evoke the beauty of a falcon's flight. Since onomatopoeia has to do with sounds of words helping the reader's imagination to hear the sounds of the action being described, the onomatopoeia in that poem has mostly to do with the sounds of rushing air, wind, and the fluttering of wings and feathers. These sounds are conveyed by words in the poem that use w, s, sh, ch and h sounds.
