My poppies have bloomed. Should I cut back the flower stem now or let it be?

You can do either. Scatter the seeds if you want to help reseed the poppies.
Many gardeners like to trim up the beds to neaten things up for the remainder of the season, but you can just leave the stems and leaves to die down.
