TO MARK WORLD Poetry Day, some select Dublin cafes will take a poem for payment for this morning’s coffee.
The initiative was started by Julius Meinl, and was brought to Dublin when poet Kerrie O’Brien and Lovin Dublin put out a call to the city’s cafes to accept a written or spoken poem in exchange for a cup of joe.
Participating cafes include Clement and Pekoe, Kaph, Nick’s Coffee Co, BB’s, Books Upstairs, and Two Pups Coffee.
Here’s the full list of participants, so get ready to flex those poetic muscles. Or else, just dig out Soundings.

The week before Christmas I had DHL deliver an electric guitar as a Santa present. I missed the delivery but noticed a missed call. I rang the driver who promptly turned around and came back to my house. He guessed that the gift was a surprise and as it was in an obviously guitar shaped box he went to great lengths to help me sneak it into my home.
During his busiest week of the year he showed amazing customer service.
I contacted DHL directly to tell his managers and a week later the guy sent me a lovely text thanking me for making the effort.
And I don’t now, nor never have, work for DHL or its subsidiaries. As they say on TV

Is there a product placement warning, like at the start of Fair City (hashtag Me Da’s Christy’s shop)
In Ireland, plane loads of “Poles”arrive every week and nothing about it
When will low cost usable postcodes be delivered. Apparently Eircodes are delayed until 2016….Eircode the gift that never gives.
Unlike other state initiatives that keep on and on giving. Not mentioning and names of course.
I enquired about delivering a suitcase from Dublin to Croatia and it was going to cost €600. Crazy money. I couldn’t believe it.
have your say
