If you have time try to do a love poem as well - you should be covered for practically everything then. I would recommend maybe being familiar with a couple of other poems from the theme of war/nature just to be 100% covered for every eventuality but no need to look at them in detail if you already know the ones you've mentioned well

you don't need to study all them poems.
only study dulce et decorum seamus Heaney and lake isle of inisfree hey cover everything.

A very simple love poem would be "He wishes for the cloths of heaven" by W.B. Yeats. It's eight lines long and very easy to grasp. If you do this poem you could leave out Digging by Seamus Heaney and talk about Yeats (Lake Isle of Innisfree and this poem) as your Poet work, should such a question come up.

Here's the poem:

HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

You have laods of poems there and you should be covered for everything for my JC I did Dulce est Decorum est, Base Details and The Road Not Taken.

You are fine. The lake isle of Innisfree will likely cover everything.
