OK, well remember this is a first attempt so try not to be too harsh on yourself - the first time at English exams can be a real pain sometimes!
Have a look at the examples I gave you - they should give you the best ideas for this. I'd say a general sentence with the wording of the question.
(As I said, I haven't looked at these poemd so I don't know what they're about. If the question was: How are strong emotions presented in Storm on an Island and The Prelude?
The first few conclusive sentences could be:
Strong emotions are clearly presented in different ways in both poems. In 'Storm on an Island', the speaker...... however, in 'The Prelude', the speaker.......These differences in emotion are evident because of the [list form/language/structure features in the poems plus one or two sentences to explain] Despite this, there are some similarities between the poems. [One or two sentences with features and similarities]. To conclude, ......................... [here you just say a sentence about the overall answer tp the question (basically what your first sentence in the conclusion says)]
^I think that's it, or at least that's the rough plan of what I'd do as a conclusion. Try not to make it too long as most of the marks will be in the main section of your essay.
As for length, whatever I've said in past PMs. Tbh this is something I always struggled with. For both language and literature, my teacher generally said to try and do 5/6 points (5/6 paragraphs) so that's an aim. If you feel that's too much, don't rush the paragraphs. It's better to have a few good paragraph than lots of sloppy ones. In class I only ever really got to a maximum of 3 and got 3/4 in the actual exam I think (
tbh) so definitely focus on adding in all your paragraph sections. The aim of about 5 is there so you try to get a range of points.
