A Lip Balm Magnipoem

Hi, and welcome! During National Poetry Month, I’m posting a magnipoem each day that I can. That’s a poem inspired by my simply looking at an object under a magnifying glass for 1 minute each day, and then jotting a poem. Feel free to try this with students (you can have them just get up close and personal to something and study it closely for a minute). If you want to share online, tag me (@LauraPSalas) or share here in the comments! You can see all my magnipoems here.

I’m never ANYwhere without a lip balm. Even at my part-time job, I carry a chapstick in my pocket, along with sticky notes and a mini-pen for jotting down notes/ideas. Just the essentials! Here’s today’s magnipoem.

And here’s a bit of my writing process.
