Practice should be the answer
I am not going to give you an essay but here is how to write it:
1. pick a poem that interests you and you can talk about. if its one that you can just say 1 sentence about, dont choose it
2. first make an outline. work on your thesis statement, and write down the main idea of your poem
3. write this all in sentence form, edit it, and you got yourself a good and decent essay!
Speech allows you to connect with the audience and really get your point across. your voice could inflict a heavier meaning on certain areas of the subject being discussed. essays are more impersonal and usually contain dry text. Eye contact in speeches and an assertive voice will have your audience's attention.
