If you’ve ever felt that the poetic potential of your Twitter account has been egregiously undervalued, Poetweet (available in English and Portuguese) is the browser-based muse for you. The latest creation from b_arco, a contemporary art center in São Paulo, Poetweet searches through your original tweets and transforms them into computer-generated poetry.All you have to do is enter your Twitter handle, choose between a sonnet, rondel, or the more esoteric indriso (two three-line stanzas, followed by two one-line stanzas), and wait for your poem to materialize. Raise a glass to the Dadaists too; the notion of the cut-up technique that undergirds Poetweet and Google Poetics began with them.Perhaps the most addictive feature of Poetweet is that the user can generate poems from any public twitter handle. I tried out David Lynch’s—this is some refridgerator-worthy stuff, people.Get your own tweet poem here.Related:A Beautiful Love Story Between Two Glitch Art Twitter BotsA Twitter Bot Is Turning Image Uploads into Low-Poly MasterpiecesYung Jake Is Making Emoji Portraits of CelebritiesThis Invention Lets Your Pizza Tweet Every Time You Take a Bite
