The element that is more important when considering the purpose of a poem than when examining a short story is "individual word choices."
In poetry, each word is often chosen with great care for its sound, meaning, and connotation, as the economy of language is crucial in conveying emotions and themes within a limited space. In contrast, while word choice is still important in short stories, there is generally more emphasis on broader narrative elements like setting, plot, and characterization.
