Carol Ann says: At 14 lines this poem casually touches base with the sonnet form. In the poem, an older woman watches the play of a young adolescent girl--we are reminded of a colt (canter/leggy/toss of mane/gallop) as the teenager plays frisbee on the lawn, her whole life before her.from Carol Ann Duffy: The Daily Mirror: Poetry Corner

Carol Ann says: Carole Coates is a poet from Lancaster and this comes from her book Looking Good (Shoestring Press, 2009). It's an elegy for the old Labour Party, a lament for the loss of the familial warmth of grass-roots socialism.
