Poetry Month for Putin

I've decided
that 2008 is
a good year
to declare
Poetry Month
in Putin's honor.

I might have chose
Castro, but somehow
he's less popular.
People just don't
like beards anymore.

So this year
it's for Putin,
the great Russian
leader, part of
the triad with
Blair and G,
a new leader
in the new
millennium.

Now his time
is running
short, yet
his legacy
only begins.

This year is
for Putin,
and to him
all is to be
dedicated.

Maybe next year
can be G's.
