Short Story

It’s more than structure and diction
It’s a type of literature that exists in forms
It’s a piece of prose fiction
It’s not a hurricane but a short storm
Linked events in one depiction.
Since it still has to fall in a category 
What’s so unique about a short story?
Being shorter is not its only glory
But it lives to gives us an allegory
Longer stories require committing
One chapter after the other
Short stories can be read in one sitting
Like the kind read to you by your beloved mother
They’re quicker to grab those who read or listens
Let’s commend the great work of Charles Dickens
Short stories make use of the resonance and plot, but to a lesser degree
And this is why short stories rock, taught to you by me
