A Fable is just another word for 'story'.
Usually when we talk about 'Fables' we mean 'a story with some kind of a moral lesson'. Aesop's Fables are typical Fables; and a story such as The Dog and the Bone has an obvious lesson to teach.
Quite often Fables will have some element of magic or fantasy; and almost as often a Fable will have animals who can talk and think like humans as main characters.
But these things are not necessary. Many fables are fantastical, or have animals as characters; but a fable such as Neruda's Mermaid and the Drunks delivers its moral lesson in an almost realistic narrative.
A Fable can be a poem (Dryden and La Fontaine both wrote famous fables which are also poems); but it does not need to be (Aesop's Fables are often found as prose stories; and so are the fables in the Arabian Nights).

A poem is a form of literary art that uses rhythmic patterns to evoke emotions or express ideas. Three differences between poems and fables are that poems often use metaphor and figurative language to evoke emotions, whereas fables typically have a moral lesson or teach a specific truth. Poems may not always have a clear narrative structure like fables, which usually involve animals or inanimate objects as characters. Additionally, poems are often more open to interpretation and invite the reader to reflect on multiple layers of meaning.
