Which poems can be nominated in the Collected Poems fandom?
The general guideline we've gone by when selecting which are eligible in this fandom and which aren't is essentially: is the full text readily available in another book? For this, we have excluded publication in obscure or non-English sources, literary magazines, or in books that were published, generally speaking, more than forty years ago and are out of print.
If the full text of the poem can be found in another book, it should be nominated under that book. For instance, Princess Mee appears in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and so it should not be nominated under Collected Poems, but under The Adventures of Tom Bombadil.
A number of poems appear in The History of Middle-earth series, and should be nominated under The Book of Lost Tales or The Silmarillion, as appropriate. And of course any poem that appears in The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings should be nominated in that fandom.
When nominating characters, character groups, or worldbuilding tags for Collected Poems, please try to ensure that you make clear which poem you are nominating for, as characters can appear across many different poems and so can worldbuilding concepts. For example, if you wanted to nominate the dragon from The Dragon's Visit, you should format the nomination like this: Dragon - The Dragon's Visit (Poems), with a dash between the character or character group and the name of the poem, followed by the fandom disambiguation in parentheses. If the poem is obvious from the character name or group, there's no need to add in the name of the poem, but please always disambiguate the fandom.
You can nominate real people in this fandom, for instance: Rosalind Ramage (Poems) or Group: JRR Tolkien & GB Smith - G.B.S (Poems).
You can also nominate characters and worldbuilding concepts that might appear in other fandoms in this fandom, for example: Worldbuilding: Earendel guiding ships to Valinor - Bilbo's Last Song (Poems) or Bilbo Baggins - Bilbo's Last Song (Poems).
If you have any questions, please ask and we will do our best to clarify. As this is the first year Collected Poems has been a fandom and it's a very complex one, we might not have all the kinks ironed out yet!
What follows is a list of all the poems in Collected Poems with a note of whether they are eligible or not, and if not, what fandom(s) they should be nominated under. This information can also be accessed in table format (thanks grundyscribbling) on Google Docs.

If we were to nominate any characters or worldbuilding concepts from this fandom as part of a crossover tag, presumably we would follow the same rule of thumb for formatting - ie specify the poem unless it's extremely obvious which one it's from?
no subject
Yes, you're absolutely correct on the crossover tagging format. For example, you could nominate in Crossover Fandom: Group: Smaug (Hobbit book) & Dragon - The Dragon's Visit (Poems), just like that.
