"Take Your Poet to Work Day" is a fun, pretend holiday where people print or draw pictures of their favorite poets and bring them to their workplaces. This happens every year on the third Wednesday of July. It's a way to celebrate poets and the wonderful words they write. By putting the poets' pictures on desks or workstations, people remember the joy and creativity that poetry brings. It's like having an imaginary friend who loves playing with words. Even if you're not going to work, you can still enjoy learning about poets and reading their poems at home!
How to celebrate Take Your Poet to Work Day?
Pick a favorite poet and bring a picture or small puppet of them to work. You can draw it yourself or print a picture. Put the poet on your desk so they can "watch" you work. Share a funny or interesting poem with your friends and coworkers during break times. Try writing a short, silly poem about your day and read it out loud. Invite others to write poems too, and make it a fun game. At lunch, pretend your poet is having lunch with you, and share something cool you learned about them. Celebrate with fun and creativity!
