Why a poem, an essay, and a story?
Poems give you metaphor and rhythm. Essays give you ideas to argue with. Stories show you how other writers build a scene and craft worlds. Within days, your thoughts will shift, your eyes will open, and your ideas will increase in number. After a thousand nights, your head will be so full of stuff that your creativity will know no bounds.
