'Strawberry Lip Balm' is a short poem I wrote as a project for my English class during my senior year of high school that I thought was cute enough to post. The assignment was to describe an abstract theme with a concrete noun or description in a single sentence, and to expound on it with five more sentences(each sentence tailored to one of our senses). 
The objective of the project is to force us to not only be poetic, but to choose words with a level of strength that we usually wouldn't bother to attempt to reach. It makes the poem powerful, yet concise.
This poem is centered around the abstract theme of love and follows a loose formatting requirement.

*Wattys 2018 Winner / Hidden Gems* CREATE YOUR OWN MR. RIGHT Weeks before Valentine's, seventeen-year-old Kate Lapuz goes through her first ever breakup, but soon she stumbles upon a mysterious new app called My Dream Boyfriend, an AI chatbot that has the ability to understand human feelings. Casually, she participates in the app's trial run but finds herself immersed in the empathic conversations with her customizable virtual boyfriend, Ecto. In a society both connected and alienated by technology, Kate suspects an actual secret admirer is behind Ecto. Could it be the work of the techie student council president Dion or has Kate really found her soulmate in bits of computer code? She decides to get to the bottom of the cutting-edge app. Her search for Ecto's real identity leads Kate to prom, where absolute knowledge comes with a very steep price.
