What is the difference between poetry and short story?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, like, poetry is all about expressing feelings and thoughts in a super condensed and artistic way, you know, with all those fancy words and metaphors. Short stories, on the other hand, are like mini-narratives that tell a complete story with characters, plot, and all that jazz. So, like, in a nutshell, poetry is more about emotions and imagery, while short stories are like bite-sized fiction adventures.

Answer 2

AnswerA poem is a song that's written in words and that rhymes or at least rhymes in a certain kind of way. A story is something written longer and in dialogue. Basically, I'm saying a poem is a song and a story is not a song. That's the difference.

^ Not all poems rhyme. Today constant rhyming poems are actually looked down on as made for children.

A story tells you about either a person,place,time, or state like in some poems but poems aren't stories when you write poems you feel the truth of it sink in the story you just read.

Answer 3

Rhyming stories is specifically stories with settings and people that happen to rhyme. These usually tend to be children stories.

Example:

"Do you like

green eggs and ham?

I do not like them,

Sam-I-am.

I do not like

green eggs and ham....

...I would not, could not,

in the rain.

Not in the dark. Not on a train.

Not in a car. Not in a tree.

I do not like them, Sam, you see.

Not in a house. Not in a box.

Not with a mouse. Not with a fox.

I will not eat them here or there.

I do not like them anywhere!

You do not like

green eggs and ham?

I do not

like them,

Sam-I-am."

-Dr. Seuss

Poems, on the other hand, can be about anything that rhymes, including rhyming stories. Poems can also be made in any length.

Example:

I feel so happy today

Unlike any other day

It's a relief when i say

I'd never wish this day away

so hold your tongue if you foresee

what could ruin this day for me

walk away and let me be

then morrow, burden with your speech

Answer 4

Poetry has a rhyme scheme, where as short stories often tell a story however they want. Often poetry is shorter than short stories, although not always. The main difference between the two, however, is simply that a poem will have a rhyme scheme and consist of verses instead of just sentences. These rhyme schemes can either be that the words actually rhyme with each other ("From childhood's hour I have not been / As other were; I have not seen/ As others saw; I could not bring / My passions from a common spring" ["Alone," Edgar Allen Poe], with rhyme scheme of aabb) or may simply consist of words that have a certain rhythm, although it may not rhyme (Haikus are a popular type of poetry that often do not consist of rhyming words. One example: "Fallen sick on a journey, / In dreams I run wildly / Over a withered moor." [Matsuo Basho]. In this case it doesn't rhyme but, if read aloud, you can hear the rhythm, or the rises and dips of the rhythm pattern).

Answer 5

Poetry is a form of literary art that focuses on rhythm, meter, and imagery to convey emotions and ideas in a compressed and structured way. Short stories, on the other hand, are prose narratives that typically include characters, plot, setting, and conflict to tell a complete story in a condensed form. Poetry often relies on figurative language and symbolism, while short stories follow a more straightforward narrative structure.
