No, fables are not all about talking animals. Fables are usually to entertain or to teach a lesson. IT depends if the author wants the fable to have talking animals in it, but the actual fable should not really be about talking animals.

What is a poem what are three differences in poems and fables?

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).
