In celebration of World Book Day, here are some of my favourite books told in free verse form.
Vicious
two brilliant college students
carried out an experiment
that gave them superpowers
and while one remained sane
the other went astray
but it makes you question
the borderline of good and bad
The Maze Runner
a group of teenage boys
stuck in a forest-like vicinity
fighting for freedom
only to discover
that to obtain it
requires more than perseverance
Battle Royale
too much political power
leads to chaotic and deadly
regulations and laws
none of which can be changed
only to go along with the government’s
insane game of killing your classmates
And Then There Were None
a group of people travel to an island
to later discover they have nothing
but each other
when mysterious murders begin
will anyone make it out alive
The Night Circus
travel to the night circus
where it was once a battlefield
for two star-crossed lovers
but is now a place of entertainment
filled with the characters you will come
to know and love
