Have any poems from the last 40 or so years entered into the public consciousness the way Ozymandias, The Waste Land, etc. have?

@CurlOfGradient How quickly do any poems enter the public mind? Red Wheelbarrow just misses the cutoff as does Maya Angelou's "…caged bird…"1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@CurlOfGradient Pablo Neruda probably just misses the cutoff as well. Maybe some Shel Silverstein, or Roald Dahl?1 reply 0 retweets 5 likes -

@davidmanheim I bring this up b/c I was trying to think of modern poetry and couldn't, then tried to read some famous ones and it was awful.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@sarahdoingthing @davidmanheim I'll have to console myself with the fact that there's so much to read already in existence, then :(
