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 "Snowflakes Dance" Open in new Window.. If you need additional inspiration, check out the current image featured in the "Invalid Item" Open in new Window. contest, for which you still have 3 days to enter. In any case, don't forget to post your composition along this thread so all our colleagues can enjoy the company of your newfound friends.

Let the creativity flow from your soul! *Cool*
