Personification

Personification
by Gabriel Chi and Lauryn Olson

When the author of the poem gives a object the ability to do something human or to make them have an action that a human would do.

The teapot sang as the water boiled  The ice cubes cackled in their glass  the teacups chattered to one another.  While the chairs were passing gas  The gravy gurgled merrily  As the oil danced in a pan.  Oh my dinnertime clan!

The leaves on the ground danced in the wind  The brook sang merrily as it went on its way.  The fence posts gossiped and watched cars go by  which winked at each other just to say hi.  The traffic lights yelled, ”Stop, slow, go!”  The tires gripped the road as if clinging to life.  Stars in the sky blinked and winked out  While the hail was as sharp as a knife.

Why I LOVE CUPCAKES!

By: Lauryn Olson

They have lots of frosting They make me smile so much You enjoy how they have a party in your mouth While they play and sing and dance in your tummy But best of all They are like a ball of cake stuffed into your mouth Except they are so tiny that you can eat 3 But it would be like eating 1 piece of cake With triple the frosting! Why I hate pickles By: Lauryn Olson There soft and slimey They have a bad smell They look like a witch’s nose They have a bad taste And they make u have a funny face They dance and laugh in your mouth as you scream in despair To get this retched thing out of your mouth! But most of all They taste like moldy old toes!
