PERSONIFICATION
Personification
is when you make a thing, idea, or an animal do something that only humans can
do.
For
example: ‘Wind yells while blowing’ or
‘a tree waves its arms’
Have a read and see if you can spot the
personification in some of our poems about
‘A House Awakes’
Toothbrush wiggles inside my mouth
The garage opened its mouth
The shower swallows water
The fire coughs smoke.
By Kiijahna
My alarm clock sings
Suddenly taps dribble
Straight after...pipes gurgle
Mum's i-phone blinks
The coffee machine spits
The table groans
The shower cries
The roof creaks
The wind talks and...
Walls chatter.
By Thomas
The tap vomits hot and cold water
Toaster coughs out toast
Shower sneezes out hot water
Toothbrush sings
Knives fight for freedom
The floorboards groan.
By Jacob Cushen
The old lazy fire stretches
Kitchen draws have a conversation
The roof talks to the birds
Doors fighting
The TV flickers and the radio sings
Luke still snoring his head off.
By Billy Bezett
As the curtains are pulled back
Windows open their eyes
The photos blink and stare at me
The tap spits out freezing cold water
Cupboard opening arms reach out at me
As the garage opens it starts to yawn.
By Ella
I-pad blinks open its eyes
Washing machine gargles
Garage door yawns
Hose gives the house a shower
Table eats pancakes
My house is going to work.
By Elsie
