Personification In What We Use

In the song 96 Bonnie And Clyde 2pac personifies his gun as his girlfriend.
In the song Loose yourself, Eminem uses personfication when he says, "the soul is escaping through this hole that is gaping".

The Sun Just Had a Nasty DayThe sun just had a nasty day,
refused to smile or shine.
It stayed behind the dark gray clouds,
a mottled, grim design.
But shortly after dinner time
one ray poked though the gray,
a spark of golden yellow warmth
reminding us of day.

If you want to please us, Sun,
(don't take this as a warning)
if you're going to pierce the clouds,
please do it in the morning

By Denise Rodegers

If dogs could talkIf dogs could talk, what they would say
would simply take your breath away.
Like: I don't want to see your knees.
Or: Pass a bit of roast beef, please.
When dawning sun shines in the east
they'd say: It's time for morning's feast.
When silent, still and somewhat broodish,
their minds are simply on your food dish.

Some might speak with British accent,
sniffing one another's back scent.
Some might lisp and some might stammer,
some would have atrocious grammar.
Some would chitchat, some would twaddle.
Some would rush and some would dawdle.
Curling on your soft bed nightly,
most would say: Good night,
politely.

Personification in Lodged by Robert Frost

1. The rain, the wind and the flowers cant do the same things humans can do.
2. It brings the poem to life and it makes it more intersting because it actually makes you think and analyze.
3. If the rain and the wind and the flowers were real people they would describe the event thats occuring as natural elements that are needed in the world, for example the flower needs water to survive.
4. The flower will describe herself soaked in wet because of the rain drops pouring.
5. The speaker empathizes with the flowers because he knows how the flowers felt.
