Love and relationship poetry

Hi, I think I may have decided which poems to revise, they are 'When We Two Parted', 'Love's Philosophy', 'Porphyria's Lover', 'Sonnet 29', 'Neutral Tones', 'The Farmer's Bride', Walking Away' and 'Winter Swans'. I was wondering if I had chosen good poems which I can use in the exam and if they are any others you think I should remember.

Those seem good to me, you have chosen a strong selection that covers all areas of love and relationships. I remember when I did GCSE my favourite was Porphyria’s Lover, I revised it really well and didn’t even end up using it! Pick the poems you enjoy the most and have the most to say about, maybe look at the one by Simon armitage and carol ann Duffy as those are good to compare to each other (can’t remember their names sorry).
You’ll only need to write about 2-3 in detail
