What are the differences and similarities among a short story, drama, and poetry?

These are
differentiated by narrative: prose (short story, novel, epic) has more than ostar narrator;
poetry (verse) has one narrator; drama has no narrator.  This is the division of
"poetry" that Aristotle made in the Poetics.  Of course these divisions have been
tested in modern times, but The Iliad, Wordsworth's work, Ibsen' work all conform to these
distinctions.
