Indeed, I've made an initial categorisation into the five categories which can be seen on my sandbox. I was actually really surprised to find that the majority of stories feature reference to a person telling the story. In fact poems like Harriet Jones, PM (which I would have placed in the 'clear narrative' section) featured a reference that it was Harriet telling the story which I had forgotten about.

The categories which will have to be discussed the most are the narrative ones. I could only find two poems that I could question the narrative of (as I found most had enough content to drive a plot) but of course all narrative poems should be discussed (if only briefly). Additionally if anyone feels a story is wrongly placed please say so as the current list is essentially a first draft.
