Shakespeare actually wrote in very few genres. He wrote a lot of plays, in many styles and in many subgenres. He wrote poetry, but only in two kinds of style: sonnets and long narrative poems in rhymed iambic pentameter couplets. He wrote no free verse. He wrote no ballads. He wrote no odes. He wrote no hymns. He wrote no limericks. And he wrote very little prose, and none outside of the context of his plays. (The people in the plays sometimes speak in rhymed verse, sometimes in unrhymed verse, and sometimes in prose.) Thus he wrote no short stories, and of course no novels which had not really been invented yet. He also wrote nothing in a didactic vein, so no essays, no sermons, no philosophical works, no collections of aphorisms. He wrote no biographies, except such of his plays which include historical characters. He wrote nothing autobiographical of any kind, not even letters or other writings exploring his personal feelings. His least favourite topic was William Shakespeare. As you can see, the genres which Shakespeare did not write in far outnumber those he did.
