I've written novels, both published (and paid) and yet-to-be published, as well as poems fitting the same categories. I've got some twenty-three cantos of a novel-in-verse which some here have seen, but it's been shelved until I feel like it, partially because my editors are less interested in that than in more traditional novels. Thankfully, the fantasy field, as mentioned, has a long tradition of verse being used as chapter headers or even sections of narrative, so I've been able to play with that.
For other authors aside from Jane Yolen, there's also John M. Ford who does some amazing poetry, Suzette Haden Elgin, Vernor Vinge and numerous others.
