They usually convey a message or moral. Take 'Aesop's Fables' which are in poem form in some translations. The stories of the animals teach lessons about things like greed, kindness, and wisdom. And the use of poetic devices like rhyme and meter makes the stories more engaging and easier to remember.
Character development is another characteristic. In 'The Odyssey' by Homer, Odysseus goes through many trials and his character evolves from a war hero to a more complex, wiser man. The poem uses vivid language to describe his adventures and the people he meets, which is also a common trait. It makes the story come alive for the readers.
Well, they often have vivid imagery. For example, in 'The Road Not Taken' by Robert Frost, the two roads in the woods are clearly described, which helps tell the story of the speaker's choice. Another characteristic is a strong sense of emotion. In short story - telling poems, the poet's feelings like regret, hope or confusion are usually palpable. In 'Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night' by Dylan Thomas, the passion of the speaker urging his father to fight against death is very strong.

Thinking back to the time when Gongjin first married, Xiao Qiao was a heroic figure. With feather fan and turban, when talking and laughing, the oars were reduced to ashes.

Well, these poems usually have a plot. Just like in a short story, there is a problem or conflict. In 'Casey at the Bat', the conflict is Casey's need to hit the ball to win the game. They also tend to have a narrative arc. Starting from an introduction, like in 'Paul Revere's Ride' where we are introduced to Paul Revere, then rising action such as his ride through the night, a climax when he warns the people, and a resolution. Moreover, the language is often descriptive to bring the story to life, for instance, the vivid descriptions in 'Goblin Market' of the goblin fruits.
One characteristic is a clear narrative arc. Just like in a short story or a novel, there is a beginning, middle, and end. For example, in 'The Highwayman', it starts with introducing the highwayman and his love for Bess, then there's the conflict when the redcoats come, and finally the tragic end. Another characteristic is the use of vivid imagery to bring the story to life. In 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner', the descriptions of the sea, the ice, and the strange creatures make the story more engaging. Also, there is often a central character or characters that the story revolves around.
One characteristic is a clear narrative arc. Just like in a story, there is a beginning, middle, and end. For example, in 'The Three Little Pigs', the start is the pigs building their houses, the middle is the wolf trying to blow them down, and the end is the safe pig in his brick house. Another is the use of characters. Poems might have heroes, villains, or ordinary people. They are described through words to bring the story to life.
Narrative poems may also convey a moral or lesson. 'The Tortoise and the Hare' is a well - known fable in poem form. It tells the story of the overconfident hare who loses the race to the slow but steady tortoise. This story imparts the lesson that slow and steady wins the race.
