△ PAY YOUR COFFEE WITH A POEM on WORLD POETRY DAY △

Today is a special Sunday, a Sunday where all Slovenia had their eyes on Planica where our Slovenian eagles made history. Now, that is something to be proud on, to be proud I'm a Slovenian. ;)

I don't remember when was the last time I've heard Slovenian National song for so many times in a row and that reminded me I have to write about tomorrow, because tomorrow is March 21st, World Poetry Day.

Have you heard about "Pay with a Poem" initiative? An Austrian coffee roasting company, Julius Meinl is making it happen every year, wider and wider with every edition. An initiative getting famous poets and everyday poets together.

The company said:"On March 21st, World Poetry Day, we let our imagination wander. We dream of a place where money is replaced by emotions. A better world.

For one day, we're changing the currency in coffeehouses around the globe. And Julius Meinl coffees or teas will be paid with your poems."

This year Global Ambassador is a poet and conceptual artist Robert Montgomery and will help celebrate by collecting public contributions and turning them into an art installation at a secret London location.

Montgomery said" I love how Pay with a Poem provides a little pocket of freedom where money is replaced by poetry. Instead of using a banknote or a credit card people can transfer value to poetry, and use it as an alternative form of payment".
