Personification

Personification: Giving something a human like quality or ability to something that is not human.





ex:  
The Cat & The Fiddle

Hey diddle, Diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Significance: Personification makes the poem more interesting by giving human's ability to an object, so object can have emotion and feeling.
