Link to the poem here
Comments : This news article mentioned the poem by Carol Ann Duffy. The two lines that the article quoted about Obama were interesting enough to have me click on the link for the poem. Found the poem interesting enough to post here, read it if you want contemorary events sent up and critiqued in the format of an old old poem. - Zen
About the poet :
(from the NY Times) Carol Ann Duffy was named poet laureate of Britain on May 1, 2009, the first time in its 341-year history that the post - held by such poets as Dryden, Tennyson, Wordsworth and Ted Hughes - has gone to a woman.
Ms. Duffy, 53, is known for writing accessible, often witty poems on a wide range of topics, many of them to do with the minutiae of everyday life.
