One is 'Dulce et Decorum Est' by Wilfred Owen. It vividly tells the story of soldiers in the trenches during World War I. The poem shows the harsh reality of war, the exhaustion and the horror of gas attacks, which is very different from the glorified view of war that was common at that time.

A simple haiku might capture a moment in nature, which is a kind of mini - story about that instant, like seeing a frog jump into a pond on a summer day.
