While i was making my portfolio i found myself looking back over my old work and the way it read came off similar to my current work. It still sounded like poetry after a couple of examples of readings we did in class i begin to figure out the real difference between the two. Though they are still quite similar neither are as long as a novel they can both introduce themes and character, and both leave you searching for more.

I think in both readings you have to really pay attention to detail and dialogue. As they usually don't give as much detail as a story so it allows you to use your imagination and fill in the blanks. Poems are written as more dramatic. They are draw emotion out of there reader. Poems have a tendency to use rhymes instead of details and usually follow a rhythm scheme. Majority of poems are written as verses, stanzas, and sonics.

Short stories introduce few characters and usually create a mood. Short stories can be as long as a paragraph and written in complete thoughts and sentences. These are usually fiction based. Short story's contain characterization, a plot, mood, and setting. An interesting thing about short stories is that they can be told in the third person. The writer could also be a character in the story.
