If you are unsure what personification is, look at the TEACHERS PAGE, FIGURATIVE WRITING, PERSONIFICATION for details. Some of my poems are written specifically as personification poems, whilst others simply use personification along with a combination of figurative writing techniques so may include it to a lesser degree. I have listed all of my poems in which I have used some personification together here, and have provided a description with each poem to give an indication as to how much personification features within it, as they will vary in usefulness when teaching (or learning) personification specifically as a figurative writing skill.

Season Poems
This illustrated season poem, from my “Picturing The Seasons” collection, is a lovely example of personification and imagery and includes masses of metaphors and alliteration.
Winter is here! The Masterful King
Sits high on his icy white throne
Watching his personal artist create
A work of art all of his own.
Welcome Jack Frost. It’s lovely to see
Such artistry of the highest degree.
The Spring is here, as demonstrated by the serenade
Of choirs of smiling faces, ceremonially arrayed.
They stand up tall, with arms outstretched;
A welcoming cascade
Of confidence and blessings…
It’s the daffodil parade! [click to continue…]
