Personification means "representing a thing or abstraction as a person. When we say "Fortune
smiles on us" or "If the weather permits", we are giving human qualities to an idea-fortune-and to the weather" (Galda, Cullinan).
The dictionary defines personification as: a figure of speech in which inanimate objects or abstractions are endowed
with human qualities (dictionary.com). In poems, poets often give human feelings or thoughts to animals or plants.
Here's a sample of a poem;
Stars, bring me up with you
Bring me to the place
you
sleep.
How
do you do it?
Bring me to your home.
Bring me your thoughts
to
me.
Share them with me. By Alex
