Why visualise poems or works of literature into visual images? I think that the process of learning new knowledge, especially text is somehow complex for people to focus on them or have a good understanding of them.
If we visualise text into images, the first thing that we need to do is to create a logical chain which links text and visual staff.

-
Which of the words in the poem rhyme with each other?
-
•
How many of the vowels are unrounded vowels?
-
•
How many groupings of repeated words are in the poem?
-
•
Where are the caesuras in the poem?
-
•
How many of the caesuras are masculine caesuras?
So potential questions are
I searched for many references to find the possibilities of poetry visualisation through the Internet. And then, I found this case of visualisation. Internet and media are essential and incredible inventions in contemporary society, so I think there is a trend for electronic productions and media to take the place of traditional methods for people to read poems and other kinds of literature.

This reference is that, Poemage is a visualisation tool for interactively exploring the sonic topology of a poem. Poemage is a collaborative work by computer scientist, linguist, and humanities scholar McCurdy et al. (2016). The image above shows the screenshot of a Poemage that focuses on a study of sound and linguistic devices in a poem. This tool is similar to The Sounds of The Psalter in terms of sound analyses. In addition, the tool puts extra focus on visual pattern of sonic topology.

I then summarised the methods that I may use in the further examinations.
I concluded those elements into whole visual diagrams and created several drafts, which show the potential blueprint of poetry visualisation.
This effect is my favourite, with the lines on the left representing how many stanzas the poem has. The right contains abstract silhouettes of sentence lengths, poetic attitudes, and figurative shapes that appear in the poem.
The solution is to mark the places where the poem rhymes and connect them later with straight lines in the grid
This idea is similar to the previous one, but the difference is that this version mainly uses curve lines instead of straight lines.
