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.

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.

Here is a funny Christmas poem. 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Yes, there is 'When You Are Old' by W. B. Yeats. It's a sad love poem. Yeats was in love with Maud Gonne, but she didn't return his love in the same way. In this poem, he imagines her in old age, looking back and perhaps realizing what she missed. It's a poignant exploration of unrequited love.
