whats ur prediction for poetry

I don't have two definite ones but I feel like The City Planners, The Man with Night Sweats, Ozymandias, or Away Melancholy. The only other options besides those would be Night Sweat and He Never Expected Much. What do you think?

i feel like it wil be he never exptecd much, ozymadnias or city planner idsk

Reply 5

Yeah I feel like Ozymandias will definitely come up - not that I plan to revise it at all, because there is no chance that I would ever pick it to analyse. :p:

what nooo i love ozymandias but i feel like its too much of a generic poem to come up but i hope it does

How do you analyse it??? Any tips would be appreciated because my brain goes blank whenever I think of it!
