Obama's real Poetry

I was recently wondering who the likely candidates would choose to read poetry at their inaugurals.  No one seemed to know much more than that the Clintons were going with Maya Angelou (of "a rock, a river, a tree") again.

Well, it turns out Obama is himself an amateur poet -- and I don't mean just his poetic oratory either.

Here's one from the Senator's student days when he was 19.  Titled "Pop", it's about his grandfather:

Sitting in his seat, a seat broad and broken
In, sprinkled with ashes,
Pop switches channels, takes another
Shot of Seagrams, neat, and asks
What to do with me, a green young man
Who fails to consider the
Flim and flam of the world, since
Things have been easy for me.

Ben MacIntyre of the London Times Online writes:

Obama's poetry, as evidenced by two poems he wrote for a college magazine at the age of 19, is actually surprisingly good. Indeed, he may be the best amateur poet to run for president since Abraham Lincoln, which is saying quite a lot.

Now reading this makes me wonder anew of who he'd choose to read at his inaugural? 
Any ideas of who his poetry might be reminiscent of who Obama would commission a poem from?
I also wonder if he still writes and/or reads poetry?  Could be promising.
