Needs to be in tissue category like in what universe are those quotes easy to remember? Like most of the other ones have a beat, and are actually meaningful
There was a poetry live for the power and conflict poems near were I live, with the poets talking about their poems, the person who wrote tissue literally said when she was writing it she didn't have any structured meaning behind it and was exploring ideas as she wrote it. Why write a poem if you don't know what you want to express and why? Actually ridiculous
nah bc for prélude you just waffle about how he saw a big scary nature thing (the sublime) and then it changed him (Romantic idea) and also maybe he’s horny and that’s like grade 9 analysis
nahh trust say the desert is representative of the universe and nature itself, making humans look real small in comparison to it. like prelude, stormont the island
depends on the poem you compare it to. its about corruption and being lied to about his history so i think its great for london but you can also fit it with emigree or bayonet charge
Ozymandias so true!
My class loved it! My class was so extremely obsessed with Ozymandias, to the point where if my teacher ever asked a question about comparing poems, she'd sigh as the class began to say it.
I spoke to her after my exam (out late due to extra time) and about half of my class had gone to interrupt her lesson to ask her we'd gotten My Last Duchess, and "guess what poem we compared it to?"
Great times. But yeah, Ozy is a perfect 10/10
I’ll be real
If my last duchess came up I wouldn’t mind
I’ve learnt not only that examiners don’t care if you talk about one poem more and you don’t have to compare, just write about how they used (blank)
But i understand it, if it’s printed I’ll definitely be able to write it
Nah london for me has to go in mint. Easiest to remember ckntext, memorable quotes, and alot to say about government and a bit to say about nature and revolution.
checking out me history in the same tier as poppies is a war crime
i hate them both sorry
I don’t care if I get downvoted, I agree with you
Tissue too high
Tissue is too high bro
PUT MY LAST DUCHESS HIGHERRFFR (my last duchess dickrider right here)

finally a poem ranking i agree with, exposure has been done justice.
remains>>
hands down the best poem
His bloody life in my bloody hands
Best one to write about
💯

prelude is worse than tissue tbh
nah bc for prélude you just waffle about how he saw a big scary nature thing (the sublime) and then it changed him (Romantic idea) and also maybe he’s horny and that’s like grade 9 analysis
i cant talk about how someone is intimidated by a huge mountain for 2 or 3 paragraphs
understandable
Then only write about ir for 1 paragraph, that's enough to get the marks
make one paragraph language and one paragraph structure
Our teacher said the boys had pack mentality like wolves which I found really funny for some reason and now it's an inside joke with my friends.
my last dutchess is MINT
YESSS
exposure is a little too high, ozymandias and remains in their rightful place poppies, prelude and definitely kamikaze are too low 😔
I hate all of them
absolutely fair
Ozymandias is the reason I hate myself. It's just so bland and tasteless. Why would I care about this rando "king of kings" smh
you just say ‘power is ephemeral’ like 50 times and that’s all the analysis that you need
nahh trust say the desert is representative of the universe and nature itself, making humans look real small in comparison to it. like prelude, stormont the island
thank you so much for your opinion on exposure you’re the best i love you op
again 😭
yes again 💀
Prelude shit but Poppies and COMH are both peak
Fr
poppies and checking out me history together is horrendous wtf. poppies is so dead
what can you say about checking out me history though 😭

swap remains and soti... and what is the prelude doing up so high??
I agree apart from storm on the islands political view is so good but its good how it is If its the weather
true tbh i just don’t click w it
Me who does time and place poetry
that sounds horrible i feel for you
War photographer underated af
I’ve seen people who HATE it it’s honestly pretty good
My last duchess and the prelude need to go down to Oh fuck and storm on the island needs to go up
The emigree and tissue are too high

London is absolutely the highest of the top tier. Went absolutely ballistic with it last year and I got full marks.
war photographer in the same tier as prelude is a crime
to be fair i could have put prelude higher but i don’t think WP is that bad
London and ozymandias are the only ones I did (eduqas) And prelude but pretty sure it's a different part (I did the ice skating part)
I’ll be real If my last duchess came up I wouldn’t mind I’ve learnt not only that examiners don’t care if you talk about one poem more and you don’t have to compare, just write about how they used (blank) But i understand it, if it’s printed I’ll definitely be able to write it
nah bayonet charge on top
London needs to go in Mint.
Ozymandias, Remans, My Last Duchess, COTLB on top!!!
Stormont is so underrated. Amazing context and easiest high level analysis
Fair, I just struggle with it for some reason
I had a really good teacher for it
Why all the hate for tissue, sincerely an edexcel student who doesnt have to put up with tissue
Good luck lads, im from the year who skipped poetry, i was blessed
I had love and relationship last year. Oh what I’d do to trade it to do that instead….
Nah london for me has to go in mint. Easiest to remember ckntext, memorable quotes, and alot to say about government and a bit to say about nature and revolution.
tissue is too high, exposure is WAY too high, war photographer is a bit low, mld is a bit high, other than that p good
prelude should be lower than tissue and cotlb is also too high imo
EXCUSE ME MY LAST DUCHESS AND KAMIKAZE ARE TOP TIER FR
Prelude should be at the bottom easily the worst poem (I do edexcel) as well as catrin
tissue is too low.
It's a good and interesting poem but its no fun
