In terms of length, generally, poetry can be very short, even just a few lines, like a haiku. A short story is longer and has more room to develop a plot. Poetry is more likely to convey deep emotions or ideas in a condensed form. A short story, on the other hand, can build a more complex world and situation for the reader to immerse in. It often has a beginning, middle, and end in a more traditional narrative sense, which poetry may not always follow.

The language use in poetry can be more abstract and symbolic. Poets often play with words in a creative way to evoke feelings. For instance, they might use a lot of metaphors. In a short story, the language is more straightforward in telling the story, though it can also be descriptive. Short stories are more about presenting a sequence of events and the characters' experiences. They rely on elements like plot twists, character arcs, and dialogue to engage the reader, while poetry may engage the reader through its musicality and profound imagery.

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

What is the difference between poetry and short fiction?

One key difference is the form. Poetry has a distinct structure, which could be in stanzas, lines, and might have specific rhyme schemes. It doesn't always follow a linear narrative. Short fiction usually has a beginning, middle, and end in a more traditional story - like way. Poetry can be more about the momentary capture of a feeling or thought, while short fiction unfolds a sequence of events. For example, a poem might describe the essence of a single sunset, but a short story could tell about a day that included the sunset and all the events leading up to it.
