A No Pens Day poem for Speech and Language UK's No Pens Day fundraiser.

A No Pens Day (Villanelle Poem)

Put down your pens, today’s a no pen day
Let’s exercise our ears to listen well
Imagination needs no pens to play

Let’s summon all the words we want to say
Let’s sync our hands and tongues to show and tell
Put down you pens, today’s a no pen day

Let’s dress as knights, go forth and dragon-slay
Let’s laugh with friends and cast a magic spell
Imagination needs no pens to play

Let’s paint a picture, let’s get out the clay
Let’s sing and use our voices to excel
Put down you pens, today’s a no pen day

Let’s speak with love and language our own way
Let’s see ourselves beyond the way we spell
Imagination needs no pens to play

Let’s hang our hidden pride upon display
Let’s hear, let’s feel, let’s see, let’s taste, let’s smell
Put down you pens, today’s a no pen day
Imagination needs no pens to play
