Nice quiz. But I have to confess disappointment that you omitted Wilfred Owen, IMO the best poet to write in English.

I have zero knowledge of poetry, but thank your for the quiz. I read Ozymandias because I looked at all the answers I missed and found it profound. :)

Missed Byron, oddly, as well as Armitage and Carol Ann Duffy, whose poem Scheherazade is one of my favourites...
