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 have a fuzzy blue bathrobe with a zipper front–and I love it! But when I looked at it up close, my mind went kind of blank. All I could think of was those surreal stories, movies, or animated shows that have main characters of tiny creatures and even grass is like a forest. So I just went with that. I don’t love it, but I like it better than yesterday’s!
And here’s a picture of my process.
