Source:

"I met a traveller from an antique land 
 Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone 
 Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand, 
 Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, 
 And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, 
 Tell that its sculptor well those passions read 
 Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, 
 The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: 
 And on the pedestal these words appear: 
 "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: 
 Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" 
 Nothing beside remains. Round the decay 
 Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare 
 The lone and level sands stretch far away."--Shelley

Think what's the best theme that u can write

Okay, so if your teacher wants you to write about the theme for a poem, I would suggest the poem "Fire and Ice" By Robert Frost. I think the poem is well written, and although it may not be that long, it still may give you a good idea. I hope this helps, but PM me if you have further questions :)
