Challenge
A Poetic Rewriting
Hello prosers! This is going to be the first in a potentially weekly series of challenges! All you have to do is rewrite a novel into a poem! Any novel will do, but the more well-known it is the easier it will be to judge. Please use the name of the novel as the name of your poem. There are no requirements for rhyme or format, but I will be taking into account any particularly impressive implementations of craft. And remember, longer doesn't always mean better. Have fun!

Renegades
I stare at my team,
My friends,
My enemies.
Remember who your friends are.
I am.
Ruby’s glistening gem,
Decorating her wrist.
Oscar and the smile hiding in his eyes,
The clank of his cane.
And Adrian,
There’s always Adrian.
He smiles when he sees me,
Lighting up his whole face.
To him I’m not Insomnia,
Not Nightmare,
Just Nova.
