Tools of the trade: Personification
by Dave Author IconMail Icon
Personification is a literary device by which animals, objects or ideas are given human characteristics, as in "the sky is weeping." This technique gives deeper meaning and makes expressions easier to understand, because readers always see things from a human perspective. More examples of personification can be found in the following link: http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-personification.html

Your assignment: Write a poem from the point of view of some inanimate object, such as a "Snowflake" .

Let the creativity flow from your soul! *Cool*
