You already have one. The "fantasy poems" section is for non-fiction poetry

The category titles are not designed to force people to put their creative work into a box. They're just designed to be engaging for readers and help them find what they are looking for more easily.

Keeping readers happy is really important because on a lot of websites they are in much shorter supply than writers!

Abra mentioned a haiku section...  :0  and that got
me to thinking about categories.

Haiku! What about our reputation? We're supposed to be deep, dark
under-the-ground eternally anxious and constantly suffering writers.
Haiku is Soooo WIMPY. People with facial tattoos (not to mention
conservatives and accountants) will make fun of us. Pin tales on us or
something.

But seriously: I kind of dislike having categories. But it's just "kind
of". They don't bother me much and if other people like them then I'll
try to behave and use them.

Also: Most of the categories deal with emotional values / content and
not with types. Except the fiction. So haiku wouldn't fit in. Actually,
I'd prefer not doing types at all; take the "poem" and "fiction" off
them and just classify all types of writing by emotional values / content.

Also, also: If we have to keep "poems" on the categories, then I'd like
a non-fiction poem category.

Whatever... any thoughts?
