What's the difference between a story and a poem

[Truerenigma]

Besides having different devices that suite the craft of each, is there anything different?

I've read numerous poems where it is told like a manner of a nostalgic memory or in the format of a story, how do I make sure that I write about about a story yet still be able to call that a poem?

insert random line breaks.

Don't listen to milo. Generally you usually try to utilize metaphor and engage the senses through sound, etc. And try to show what happened though imagery etc. instead of just telling. Of course you can "call" anything a poem though.

You could try opacity but that is better left till when you have more experience.

Lookee the pome I just wrote:

%$#@!/*-+%#~~~~~~
SYMBOL KEY = a+b*(!1)
*&^%^&*&^%^*&^&~
%$#@!/*-+%#~~~~~~
&^%$3345434554344 ~
*&^^%*%*%*8&%*&1)
%$#@!/*-+%#~~~~~~
SYMBOL KEY = a+b*(!1)

It is a triolet, and it is story too.

Poetry is way harder than selfies.
