There is no such thing. Shakespeare did not write short stories, or novels, or any kind of narrative prose. He wrote a couple of narrative poems which told a story, called Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece. But mostly what he wrote were plays, as well as a number of sonnets.

Some of the poems written by William Shakespeare are 'Venus and Adonis,' 'Funeral Elegy by W.S.,' and 'A Lover's Complaint.' Shakespeare also wrote many sonnets. One of the most famous is, 'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?'

Shakespeare is most famous for his plays, and the plots or stories of these are quite well-known: Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, Julius Caesar, Henry V, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Taming of the Shrew and The Merchant of Venice are just some of his thirty-eight plays.

But don't make the mistake of thinking that Shakespeare thought up these stories. Mostly he didn't. Mostly he used stories he had read somewhere else. He is not famous for thinking up the stories, but for the way he tells them, and for the words he has the people in the stories say.

He wrote 156 sonnets, each 14 lines long, which are certainly short poems. As to which is the best, opinions are naturally going to differ. Number 18 is probably the most famous.
