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.

∙ 11y agoPoetry is about the artistic arrangement of words, usually involving such things as rhyme and meter, as well as metaphor and other poetic devices. Short stories are about descriptions of (usually fictitious) events. There is some overlap between these two forms of literature, insofar as short stories can be poetic, and poems can also be used to tell stories.
