Generate illustrations from a poem: cross-border collaboration between poetry and AI Image

Poetry, as the essence of capturing emotions in human literature, can help people express their emotions in a more aesthetic form. But is there a way to visualize the expression of human emotions or the description of beautiful scenery? You may ask yourself, there really is one. The emergence of AI image has greatly facilitated people to visualize their imaginations. You can imagine turning Emily Dickinson's "Hope is a feathered thing" into a light bird flying in a dreamy sky, and using the AI image function to convert this poem into an aesthetic picture with poetic artistic conception. Now you can easily use the function of converting poetry to AI image on Picool. Next, I will share some practical guidelines.

Why Poetry and AI Image are Soulmates

Poetry has a very refined ability to express emotions, but when combined with AI image, it can generate a concrete, emotional and imaginative picture.

Vivid imagery: For example, "a light bird flying in a dreamy sky in a poem" provides specific guidance for AI image generation.

Emotional resonance: The emotional depth expressed in the poem inspired AI image to create artwork that resonates with the audience

Creative freedom: No matter what type of poetry you use, all kinds of poems can be used to create your own artwork directly for you by using Picool's AI image function.

I will now quote from Emily Dickinson’s poem “Hope is the thing with feathers”.

“Hope” is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops – at all –

And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard –
And sore must be the storm –
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm –

I’ve heard it in the chillest land –
And on the strangest Sea –
Yet – never – in Extremity,
It asked a crumb – of Me.

For example, let’s select a poem and use the AI image function to draw a picture.

Step 1: Choose a poem and summarize it into prompt words

Poem:

“Hope” is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops – at all –

And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard –
And sore must be the storm –
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm –

I’ve heard it in the chillest land –
And on the strangest Sea –
Yet – never – in Extremity,
It asked a crumb – of Me.

Condensed and refined prompt words: a small bird with soft feathers perched gently in a glowing human soul, surrounded by wind and storm, singing silently, poetic atmosphere, surreal lighting, spiritual, warm tones
