Drabbles (100 words) Dribbles (50 words) Microfiction stories or poetic prose all belong under the umbrella of Flash Fiction.

Here is one definition of what Flash Fiction can be.

"Flash fiction is fiction with its teeth bared and its claws extended, lithe and muscular with no extra fat. It pounces in the first paragraph, and if those claws aren’t embedded in the reader by the start of the second, the story began a paragraph too soon. There is no margin for error. Every word must be essential, and if it isn’t essential, it must be eliminated."
