Did your class talk about this AT ALL? Have you ever written an essay before and an introductory paragraph and a thesis statement?
I am not sure how to help without writing the thing for you.
Whatever you write about Poe should be very brief. This isn't a biography.
Put something together -- a few sentences -- and I will tweak, if necessary.

Writers use many techniques to make their writing appeal to the reader's artistic senses. A master of this was Edgar Allan Poe. In the short story "The Tell-Tale Heart," he writes to the reader's senses in order to orchestrate feelings of suspense and fear. In his last work, a poem called "Annabel Lee," he instead paints a picture of his almost bizarre attachment to a beloved woman whose loss he mourned. Although both of these have an overarching mood of insanity, one of them is more successful at showing that.

Sorry I disappeared. I had to reboot my computer. It's old and cranky.
I was a college English major, have loved American and English lit all my life, was a teacher, became a career librarian, have written and gotten books published the old-fashioned way, am a counselor, and here I am, just to help you!
No, I don't write those essays for sale. I'm too smart to do that (most of them suck).
And, by the way, don't use that paragraph I wrote or your teacher will think you plagiarized it from somewhere. I was just trying to show you what I meant.

It doesn't quite sound like you, does it.
Now, YOU write one like that.
What grade are you in and where (generally) do you live? (I'm near Chicago.)

You said you are to use ONE short story, and you wanted "Tell-Tale Heart," so I put only that one that in the intro paragraph. We cannot use any other short stories in the body of the essay -- only that one.
What examples to compare and contrast the short story with the poem you selected?
