When you only have a few days to learn poetry for mocks what are the best 3 or 4 to know?

I'd say try to learn 2 war poems e.g. Exposure/ Remains/ the War Photographer, perhaps one about power and love like My Last Duchess, and then one about emotional feelings (e.g. Poppies/ The Emigree) - however you should try to understand all of them in some depth.
