Fiction Adaptation Unit: Update

After finding the poem Stalker I have been trying to think what would be the best way to adapt it to film.
I have a couple of ideas.

1. Make a short film based on the poem but rewrite it. 
2. do the short film but where the main character recites the poem as he acts out the story. 

At the minute I am leaning more towards the rewriting it idea where the main thing that links it to the poem is the plot of the story. I am also thinking of keeping the title of the poem as the title of the short film.
