Prose into Poetry

Turning great works of literature into poety by DiVerse.

Sunday, July 23, 2006

Poetry transcribes emotions into words. It can extend the image and voice of a visual art. DiVerse have now turned novels and great stories into poetry. Not just a condensed version of the original medium, but a poetic rendering of works you know and love. Let us know what you think.

the worst thing on earth is us
- after Silence of the Lambs, by Thomas Harris.

by Robert Kennedy

how we construct pain
our lives
tedious
part of the evolutionary small
masked
hideous torment
that can’t be mentioned
under the skin
things that don’t remove
every strip
every part
weighed down
with that look of taste
upon our faces
skinny black features
on white romantic wants
plays the part
of ultimate release
dissected
the unquiet seconds
the last movements
of what
we contained
