HELP PLS NEED DONE FAST

He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt, he falls.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. This poem is called "The Eagle" so for the summary you could mention how the speaker is talking about this eagle, its view point, and watching over the world. Just stuff like that, you can come up with something.

2. The simile is here "And like a thunderbolt, he falls." Meaning the eagle flies down like how a thunderbolt comes down from the sky.

3. Not sure exactly what the poets trying to mean by the azure world, but azure means bright blue skies that are clear so it would makes sense that's what he's trying to say in that line.

4. Best guess is lyric poem because its a short poem expressing the speakers feelings about this eagle with his descriptions. A ballad poem typically has a specific form and its not this, and a elegy poem is more death, dark related themes. Again not this.

5. Rhyme scheme is AAA BBB.
