can poems be stories

Sure. Poems have the potential to be stories. Some poems are very short and might tell a simple, poignant story in just a few lines. Others can be long and elaborate, with characters, plot development, and a setting, much like a traditional story. It's all about how the poet chooses to use the medium of poetry to relate an event or a sequence of events.

Yes, they can. A poem can tell a story in a concise way. Just like a short story, it can have characters, a plot, and a theme. For example, in Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Raven', it tells the story of a man visited by a raven while he is mourning his lost love. The poem has a clear setting, a sequence of events, and emotions that unfold like in a short story, but it uses the unique form and rhythm of poetry to convey the tale.

Yes. Poems can be like stories. Some narrative poems, for example, tell a story from beginning to end. They have characters, a plot, and often a setting, just like a story. 'The Canterbury Tales' by Geoffrey Chaucer is a great example. Each tale within it is like a mini - story in poem form.

Yes, they can. Just like stories, poems can have a beginning, middle, and end. In a narrative poem, the start might introduce the setting or the characters, the middle could be where the conflict or action takes place, and the end is where things are resolved or a conclusion is reached. For example, in Robert Frost's 'The Road Not Taken', it starts with a man at a crossroads (beginning), he makes a choice (middle), and then reflects on how that choice will impact his life (end).

Not really. Poems and short stories have distinct forms and purposes. Poems focus more on imagery and rhythm, while short stories have a narrative structure with a beginning, middle, and end.

Sure, there are. Some works by authors like Aldous Huxley or certain modern poets explore themes and use language that could be classified as psychedelic.
