You've got a point there. But you can't deny that popular fiction has managed to create dramatic tension and fear effectively enough in a viewer even without the audio component. The major problem being significant difference of length and wording in a poem as opposed to novel. Probably an issue which could be solved by moving focus to immerisve portraits of the environment and all objects, and treating the character as a disctinct object among many rather than as a spectator. Also, increased use of onomatopoeia and sensory effects as well as personal state should be important. Hmm, using thriller novels as a template should be reasonable for getting a rough idea of what is needed/what isn't
