poetry connection(hope)

In this poem the author is symbolyizing hope with a creature that flys and is beatuful probally a eagle. it makes no sound just "perches on a tree". the author is just trying to show what hope is through a mental image.
ithink that the author wrote this poem well. i also thought that she picked a good animal to symbolize hope. i personally think that a bird is a animal to hope for like the eagle. a beautiful animal but on the break of extinction, now they are over populated in several areas.
