Some people already seem to think tweeting is an art form — and a new website wants to take your 140-character quips and turn them into real, bona fide poetry.

This wonderful tool, called [Poetweet](http://poetweet.com.br/?lang=en), will simply scan your tweets and turn them into one of three poetic forms: either a sonnet, a rondel or an indriso. All you do is plug in your Twitter handle, choose the form you prefer and then sit back and wait for magical, poetic glory to emerge.

I tested it out with[ my personal Twitter account](https://twitter.com/sam%5Fgrossman) and got some interesting results. It’s not the _best_ poem, necessarily, but my co-workers seem to think it captures my essence pretty well:

**American Listicle**  
 by Samantha Grossman

_Same_  
 _PLAY BY THE RULES_  
 _Of human emotion at a Knicks game_  
 _One shiba who smiles about bubbles_

_I was on the edge of my seat!_  
 _First place at Mean Girls trivia_  
 _10/10 would eat_  
 _Have been posted on Facebook. via_

_Including two run-by fruitings._  
 _Stop saying “screenshotted”_  
 _You’re missing important things_

_And Darth’s head!_  
 _For Ebola in New York City. Welp._  
 _Offering laptop batteries instead?_

Try it for yourself [here](http://poetweet.com.br/?lang=en), but don’t expect to feel like the next Wordsworth.
