Examples of formats:
My question is simple: Is there some formal terminology for describing these formats?
I am not sure if literal translation of their name from Arabic to English makes sense
Vertical poetry = الشعر العمودي
Considered the purest form of poetry, the oldest and the classical way to write poetry.
Free form poetry or Free verse = الشعر الحر no regulation as long as it rhythm, you can emphasize the pronunciation of a word, or even use silence to make it rhythm. example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ1SqzSYvSQ
the writing style [single column or two columns] is not the main way of classification it is about following these rules
there is other types as well (which evolved later) however you only asked about theses
