Both sonnets and haiku are examples of which type of poetry?

You might be looking for the term "formal verse." That's often used just for poems that use rhyme and/or meter, a definition which applies to sonnets but not to haiku. But it can be stretched to include any kind of poetry that isn't "free verse," any kind of poetry with specific rules, like the syllable-count rules for haiku.
