I do the relationships cluster ans I have used the youtube channel called Miss Dye English ans she analyses each of the poems in the section very well in my opinion so I recommend if you do the relationship poems

Do you think its one question that has a poem about family and then love for the other question? Our teacher hasnt said anything about it but It seems like thats the case?

points for what poems to compare for a certain theme?(relationships)

here's some:

the manhunt
-contrast to the farmers bride
-farmers bride is written from a male point of view whilst the manhunt is from the perspective of a women exploring her feelings for her husband
-similar, both speakers clearly have feelings for their partners but they don't receive anything back

hour
-similiar to sonnet 116 as they both talk about the ideas of a battle between time and love

in paris with you
-similar to born yesterday as both poems reject traditional ideas
[in paris with you rejects traditional ideas about love whilst born yesterday rejects typical wishes you'd make to a newborn/wishes about life]

quickdraw
-similiar to sister maude as they both present the ideas of conflict within a relationship
