There are many different 'schools' of poetry: oral, classical, romantic, modernist, etc. and they each vary in their use of the elements described above.

Schools of poetry may be self-identified by the poets that form them (such as [[Imagism]]<ref>{{Cite web |last=Poets |first=Academy of American |title=A Brief Guide to Imagism |url=https://poets.org/text/brief-guide-imagism |access-date=2024-03-26 |website=Poets.org |language=en}}</ref>) or defined by critics who see unifying characteristics of a body of work by more than one poet (for example [[Movement (literature)|The Movement]]). To be a 'school' a group of poets must share a common style or a common ethos. A commonality of form is not in itself sufficient to define a school; for example, [[Edward Lear]], [[George du Maurier]] and [[Ogden Nash]] do not form a school simply because they all wrote limericks.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Poetry Groups |url=https://www.poetryexplorer.net/poetry-groups/ |access-date=2024-02-25 |website=Poetry Explorer |language=en-US}}</ref>
