Ways to Group Poetry

How would you group different styles of poetry? It seems that there are a whole host of ways of doing this. As we may suspect, as many ways as there are individuals. There will be three types of poetry, regardless of your method. Sure, there are!

One such general manner is to group it according to formality. The use of formal here means structured verse. Though not at all the well-dressèd-ness of the matter, it could well be. This is one of my preferred methods.
