    Does It Matter by Siegfried Sassoon is quite easy to learn and it's very different to the other ones you mentioned. It's good to have a variety

    A war poem is usually a good one to do, I did "Base Details" by Siegfried Sassoon

    Dulce et Decorum Est is a good poem for war, imagery and powerful thoughts/feelings/message.
