If it is free verse, no, the stanzas just have to make sense to you and the reader. In fact, a stanza could be one line if you wish it to be.
Think of where you might want a longer pause between verses, or where a thought naturally ends and another begins.
If this is a tradtional form of poetry, you should follow the rules set down by that form. If you wish, you could post the poem here and take suggestions.
Breaking a poem into stanzas should add impact to your poem.
