Attention all budding poets: A new site lets you to turn you tweets into poetry, or something like it. Poetweet skims through your history of tweets, and then converts the results into verse. (You choose whether you want your poem to appear as a Sonnet or other format.)
When I ran my Twitter ID through the engine, Poetweet created a ditty called “A Writer”. The resulting verse seems odd, but somehow perfect. (Disclosure: I rearranged a couple of lines to enhance the logical ‘flow’).
