English power and conflict poems

Paper 2 is on Monday and ive decided to pick out 5 poems to memories in depth.
Ive chosen:
- ozymandias
- london
- kamikaze
- bayonet charge
- war photographer

I think this is a pretty diverse set of poems that can cover most questions, is there any poem this line up cannot be compared to?

I think you definitely have a match for every poem but in my personal opinion, I think you'd struggle a bit with the theme on the power of nature. Although that is technically covered by Ozymandias, I find it to be pretty lackluster, comparatively to a poem like exposure that has lots of language to analyse specifically referencing nature. Don't get me wrong, Ozymandias is a great poem and I've used it in my mocks and gotten very good marks with it, but it never specifically references nature (although it's pretty easy to infer that nature caused the erosion of the Pharaoh's statue).
