Suppose $(k_{n})_{n\geq 1}$ is Hartman uniformly distributed and good universal. Also suppose $\unicode[STIX]{x1D713}$ is a polynomial with at least one coefficient other than $\unicode[STIX]{x1D713}(0)$ an irrational number. We adapt an argument due to Furstenberg to prove that the sequence $(\unicode[STIX]{x1D713}(k_{n}))_{n\geq 1}$ is uniformly distributed modulo one. This is used to give some new families of Poincaré recurrent sequences. In addition we show these sequences are also intersective and Glasner.
