HELP ME PLEASE OMLL IM SO FRUSTRATED

Read the poem below and answer the question.

The Eagle

He clasps the crag with crooked hands;

Close to the sun in lonely lands,

Ringed with the azure world, he stands.



The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;

He watches from his mountain walls,

And like a thunderbolt he falls.

What kind of poem reading does the following represent?

The eagle has been the bird of empires throughout history—possible association with the rise and fall of Rome. Like an emperor, the eagle is king of all he surveys. He holds power over all from the shelter of his "castle" (the mountain walls), but like the emperor throughout history, his day to fall will come.
