Well, you look for similarities and differences. For instance, are they both about the same topic? Do they have the same rhyme scheme? Do they have similar tones, or goals, or imagery? You have to find something the same about them first, in order to get an effective comparison going, and then you can compare other things that are typical of poetry. Just try not to compare things that are too different. Comparing a 6-page ode to the "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue" type of poem probably won't get you anywhere... but comparing two poets writing about a similar theme might be effective. For instance, I can think off the top of my head two poems that both talk about the departure of a spouse... in one, the man is desolate and alone without his wife, and he spends the poem talking about being with her. The other talks about a wife who greets her husband after a long journey, welcomes him home, and takes care of him, and then when he leaves to go back after his brief stay, she runs back to her lover. ...same theme, but a lot sof differences to talk about. Look for something like that (if you get to choose your own poems to compare). Find two poems that both talk about love, or loss, or loneliness, or whatever, but that talk about it differently.
Contrast how each author's message about the theme is different.

the compare is they are both really pretty at night and the contrast is Paris is just plain better than l.a so suck it
The reason for pairing these two poems isn't immediately clear to me, but I suppose the two poems are related in how they address a central theme: how do we (esp. "we" in reference to black people in the late 19th and early 20th centuries) respond to the painful parts of life? In addressing this theme, both poems make heavy use of figurative language, but they don't always use the same literary elements. Dunbar's poem seems to rely more on metaphor (esp. in the central image of the mask) whereas Hughes' poem is structured around similes (all but one of the comparisons are introduced with the word "like"). The diction of the poems is very different and may be one point of contrast that you can develop. The vocabulary in Hughes' poem is simple and concrete in comparison to that of Dunbar's. Dunbar even uses the archaic form "thee." A good point of comparison and contrast may be the form of the poems. Both poems use end rhyme, but Hughes' poem is much more loosely structured; it's written in free verse and doesn't use a clearly measured number of syllables per line. Read the lines of both poems aloud, slowly and clearly but in a natural speaking voice, and you'll hear the difference in form.
This would be called a compare-and-contrast essay.
compare is when you compare two things that are the same and contrast is when you compare two things that are different.

compare means what two things have in common. contrast are the differences things have.
Compare and contrast is kind of a redundant statement. It just means to compare similarities and differences of one relationship to another. For example,"in this relationship, I can be myself. With my ex, I had to pretend to be someone I wasn't"
A compare and contrast essay's purpose is to analyze the difference and similarities of two subjects.
