But then I found out that Take Your Poet to Work Day, celebrated on the 3rd Wednesday every July, falls on July 16th in 2025!
I couldn't pass this up.
This is also why I am putting up this post one day early: so that you have time to prepare!
This one goes our to all the POETRY people in the A to Z Challenge - and everyone who follows and reads their work :)
If you don't know what Take Your Poet to Work Day is, now you will. It is exactly what it sounds like: people print and cut out pictures of their favorite poets, and take them to work on this day. It started in 2013, and now it has a whole big online following. People take all kinds of favorite poets to work to show them off. There is even a hashtag: #poettowork
It is a simple and fun thing to do, and a great conversation starter about literature and poetry!
So, which poet are you taking to work tomorrow?

What a shame, I don't work! If I still did, I'd be hard-pressed to pick one. Christina Rosetti? T.S. Eliot?

A: The flight of ‘the Raww!kuss’ (my killer
starship) - 111ish killillion parsecs acrossD’
universe; loving/serving you; picking-up
stowaways who think their subtle maneuver
goes without notice and, finally, touching-
down on the HUGE home world of KodexxII
where we can learn-to-play ‘NachoCheese
Dude’ and ‘O!Wah!Hoo!’ (et al). Whoa. The
sheer outpouring of exponential treasures
goes far beyond what our brains comprehend.
Then meet me@RongWay café Upstairs for
some beers/savvy pretzels in the starry sky.
We’ll schmooze, cool shoes??
