All My Xs

In Dublin, an invisible X shows

where we first met.

Secret space: the heart knows.

– Karen J McDonnell

X marks the spot

of my hideaway Dublin heart.

An alphabetical love story

mapped here for all to see.

– Siobhán Mc Laughlin

X marks the spot of the Papal Cross

& the one million who came to adore;

Such cordoned belief ne’er seen before

Though thuribles no more swing pangloss.

– Marie Studer

X is the Xavier in the old SFX,

Where punks met with theatre and special FX.

– Catherine Ann Cullen

Xico for MeXican, where you’ll eat oodles,

Or Xi’an on South Anne for its famed Biang Biang Noodles. 

– Catherine Ann Cullen

Xmas in Dublin is eXtra eXciting,

EXtravagant windows and eXcellent lighting.

– Catherine Ann Cullen

X is for Xmas and its much-needed cheer

Santy and Rudolph and his other reindeer,

fairy tales come alive in Grafton Street stores

with magical snow scenes and sparkles galore.

– Mary B Shannon
