- Identify the plot, characters, theme, setting, narrator and narrative style, and writing style of the poem.
- Any of the above is a potential starting point for a story however the two most important facets are plot and characters and you should start with the intention of bringing them in soon.
- Plot starts with a conflict, progresses to a crisis, reaches a climax, and then has a resolution. So do everything necessary to set-up a credible plot, apply it to characters then quickly and concisely bring on the conflict and start building towards the crisis.
- Try to retain the same narrator and if possible his narrative style.
- Try and retain the same setting.
- Theme and writing style would be the best to abandon if such a sacrifice is to be made.
example:
There was a young man from Peru
Who found a large fly in his stew.
Said the waiter 'Don't shout
and wave it about
or the rest will be wanting one too.'
Don Pedro de la Mariacaosi stopped halfway in the double swinging doors and surveyed the restaurant interior with a cold, steady eye. A humble joint indeed, one might even be inclined to say mean, perhaps even dirty - but then 'sweets to the sweet' and such a place suited the dusty traveler well enough.....

What is the difference between a poem and a short story?
It's just the set up that is different. Short stories are the equivilant to that of any novel, just shorter. Their set ups consist of paragraphs, and flowing sentences. Poems flow, but they are placed in stanzes, which yes are like paragraphs. Poetry is a wide variety of writing so depending on what you are comparing will determine the differences. HOWEVER, for something to be a short story it just needs to meet a few requirements. A poem, such as The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe is both a short story and a poem. It flows and keeps tempo like a poem, but it also tells a story of a man haunted by the memory of his late beloved. We can also look to Romeo and Juliet which is technically a epic poem but is oftenly reffered to as a story.
