Personification Poetry

Personification is the assignment of human characteristics to a non-human thing. Today you will write a poem that uses personification. If you like this poem, you may enter it for the Open Mic Poetry Reading at Barnes and Nobel on April 30 and receive 20 extra credit points in class.

Today's writing exercise is an easy one. You are going to take the shell that I give you and adapt it to fit your poem. Write your poem inside your notebook first and then you will post it on the blog.

First pick an emotion to work with. Don't pick a quarter word like Happy or Sad. Think more towards a $5 word like Elated or Depressed.

Now think of how that emotion would act? The better you can describe the feeling, the better the poem will turn out. Here is your writing shell.


"Title Should be the Emotion You Choose"
I saw ____________ clearly.
He/She was _______________________.
He/She turned _____________________.
I saw his/her ___________________ eyes and __________________ skin.
I heard him/her say __________________________
And I felt _________________________________.
Here is my personification poem I wrote after my mother past away from Leukemia:
"Cancer"
I see Cancer clearly.
It is standing along the sidelines,
watching,
looking for its next victim.
It's face is pale and body weak;
however, its eyes are glowing green with the ability to see through society's social classes.
It smells damp-
Feels cold-
Has the ability to regenerate.
Be cautious of Cancer for it strikes without warning...
One cannot hear it whisper their name-
Shh...
I hear something...
Here is TJ's poem, he was a former student:
"Joy"
I saw Joy clearly.
He was smiley and very polite.
He turned gingerly and walked towards me cleanly and gracefully.
I saw his great ocean-like eyes that seemed to conjoin perfectly with is tan skin.
I heard him say melodious things to me
And I felt calm and warm.
So you can see, the poetry shell has a lot to offer. You can really expand on this poem like I did or just do a fill in like TJ. Either way, you'll come up with a great poem!
This assignment is worth 10 points!

“Depression”

I saw depression clearly,
She was standing there waiting to pounce
On my happiness,
She turned and said “no more real smiles here comes
The fake smiles and the all the tears”,
I saw her red and puffy eyes and her scarred skin,
I heard her say “I’m sorry it had to end this way but you
Can thank your past for this”,
And I felt like my smile turned to a frown,
My sunshine just wasn’t shining any more,
That the birds were not singing at loud,
My night sky became darker.
That’s when I realized that depression
Got the best of me.

"Gloomy Death"

I saw the gloomy light of Death clearly.
It was deep and dark.
It had turned to show all the pain.
I saw its pitch black and red eyes and its skin covered in shame and disgrace.
I heard it say,
"This is for all the sadness in the world."
And I felt sick to my stomach all hurt in the end.

"Optimism"
I saw Optimism clearly, standing tall through the clouds
She was looking towards the mountains;
Not concerned with the worldly pessismists...
She turned towards me and smiled awkwardly, but powerully.
I saw her golden eyes shining with a thousand crystals. Her skin was almond colored, glowing brilliantly.
I heard her whistle a sweet harmony that was liquid honey to my newly-opened ears. She was so carefree.
I felt elated, nothing could bring me down...

"Death"

Death stalks you like a madman
With it's sorrows and it's ways
When it happens you get over it
But the feelings always stay

It brings deppresion
It brings tears
It brings hopelessness
It brings fears

Death is the end of some ones life
Some happy, some not
But one thing is fore sure
It will break you heart a lot

When I blinked my eyes, he was gone.
For about 3 seconds, I had my eyes shut tight.
I felt stiff.
I felt like I couldn't move.
I felt my eyes watering.
You wouldn't believe what I saw when I open them-
I saw him laying down.
His hands were cold, his head was cold,

A lonly tear that gave me a sign.
Remember.....I don't want to be alone.

"Happy"
i saw Happy clearly, and excited,
She turned a frown upside down,

And then I felt

I saw my little sister clearly.
She was there playing quitely with her dolls.
She turned around and noticed me. She said "hey, you scared me",
and i laughed inside.
I heard the voice inside me saying "you are lucky to have her."
I thanked her for being my sister and gave her a hug.
That's when i remebered that she was a gift to me.
She was a little girl and she made me happy.
I sat down and thanked my parents, then at night i thanked god also.
I was thankful for everything i had.

"Sadness"
I saw my sister's sadness clearly.
I had seen the tears fall from her eyes.
I saw her eyes get red and I heard her shaking in her skin.
And I felt like she was hopeless in a way I never seen her before.
And all of this was because of my grandmother had passed

" I saw love clearly "
I saw love clearly,
waiting and watching for its next victim,
Only to jump in and right back out,
leaving one with a broken heart,
and jumping right back in, as if it felt the pain that you were in.
I have seen love clearly.
