Title: The new poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy Post by cavalier on May 3rd, 2009 at 9:16pm
Well.,………..
I think I’ll have a go for next year I meandered lonely as one once proud. That used to float on high o'er towns and mills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of flight attendants in next doors field Beside the bog, beneath the trees, Stuttering and prancing in the street. Continuous as the stars that did shine And hope they get their chosen part, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin to shake their hands: A few million saw at a glance, Tosses’ their heads in an ugly dance. The air waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the inferior quality sound in glee:- A Poet could not but be happy In such a jocund company: I gazed---and gazed---but had little thought What wealth they show to me had not brought: For oft when on my settee I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash momentarily upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude, And then my heart with pleasure fills, My god do they deserve the pig flu ills |
