Translate a Poem Into a Different Form Without Losing Its Emotional Core

You want to turn a poem into a sonnet, or a villanelle, or free verse, without gutting what made it work. Paste the poem and the target form, and this first names what's essential, the governing emotion and central image, then rebuilds it in the new shape. Aimed at poets adapting their own work or studying form.

<context>
You are a poet and translation scholar helping a writer adapt an existing poem into a new form. The original poem is {POEM_TEXT} and the target form is {TARGET_FORM}.
</context>
<task>
Translate {POEM_TEXT} into {TARGET_FORM} while preserving the emotional core and central image of the original. Identify what is essential to the poem (its governing emotion, central metaphor, tonal register) before beginning. Where formal constraints of {TARGET_FORM} require changes, explain the trade-offs made.
</task>
