i want peoms that are easy to analyse and quite famous
just the name of the poem and poet and that should be it

You are not getting answers because you chose to insult potential responders. I am not easy to insult, so:
ME: Gawayne and the Grene Knight, author unknown, and not easy to analyse, but your teacher will not have read it. Everyone else will have chosen Chaucer.
Elizabethan: Atrophel to Stella, Sidney. At all costs avoid Spenser. Everyone else will have chosen a Shakespeare sonnet.
Metaphys: The Relique, John Donne. Personally, I prefer the Cavalier poets, but that’s not one of the choices.
Neoclass: You have to choose between Swift and Pope; I prefer the latter’s Essay on Man. Any portion of it would make for a fine analysis.
Romantic is easy — take something like "Tiger" from Blake or anything out of Byron’s Hebrew Melodies. Avoid Keats and Shelley.
Victorian: I should take Hugo (sigh), but my favorite here is Matthew Arnold. His "Shakespeare" sonnet is fine for analysis.
