Always go with a favorite topic. Haiku is fun. Or try Robert Louis Stevenson because pirates are a fun topic today. "Block City" is a favorite from Stevenson.
or if you want an original from you just keep that pad and pen with you. Be Inspired

Ozymandias is a good one. How did Shelley come to the topic? How well does the form fit the topic? Why does Shelley use a "framing device" (as if recounting a story told by someone else)? How does the conclusion of the poem relate to other poems by Shelley? What characteristics of the poem establish its "fit" under the heading of romantic poetry?

Well, that depends on the KIND of research you're planning on doing. If its an explication i would defenitly do John Donne.....any of his work is great and you can find PLENTY of information on it! I did "The Flea" a few months back for my 17th cent. Lit class and had no problem finding information

"Clancy of the Overflow" by Banjo Patterson
Romanticising the country lifestyle, back in the late 1800's.
Compare the description of oppressive hectic city life- how much has changed? Is it better, or worse?
