Ekphrastic poetry
Ekphrasis: writing that comments upon another art form, for instance a poem about a photograph or a novel about a film. Keats' "Ode on a Grecian Urn" is a prime example of this type of writing, since the entire poem concerns the appearance and meaning of an ancient piece of pottery.

Don’t Let That Horse
Don’t let that horse Eat that violin Cried Chagall’s mother But he Kept right on Painting And became famous And kept on painting The Horse With Violin In Mouth And when he finally finished it He jumped up upon the horse And rode away Waving the violin And then with a low bow gave it To the first naked nude he ran across And there were no strings Attached Lawrence Ferlinghetti |

flash fiction
(This information is from Wikipedia): "One of the first known usages of the term "flash fiction" in reference to the literary style was the 1992 anthology Flash Fiction: Seventy-Two Very Short Stories. Editor James Thomas stated that the editors' definition of a "flash fiction" was a story that would fit on two facing pages of a typical digest-sized literary magazine.[2] In China the style is frequently called a "smoke long" or "palm-sized" story, with the comparison being that the story should be finished before the reader could finish smoking a cigarette.[3]
"Other names for flash fiction include sudden fiction, micro fiction, micro-story, short short, postcard fiction and short short story, though distinctions are sometimes drawn between some of these terms; for example, sometimes one-thousand words is considered the cut-off between "flash fiction" and the slightly longer short story "sudden fiction". The terms "micro fiction" and "micro narrative" are sometimes defined as below 300 words.[4] The term "short short story" was the most common term until about 2000, when it was overtaken by "flash fiction".[5]
"Unlike a vignette, flash fiction often contains the classic story elements: protagonist, conflict, obstacles or complications, and resolution. However, unlike a traditional short story, the limited word length often forces some of these elements to remain unwritten - that is, hinted at or implied in the written storyline. Different readers thus may have different interpretations."
