A personification is a figure of speech that gives
an inanimate object or abstract idea human traits
and qualities, such as emotions, desires, sensations,
physical gestures and speech.
*********************************
AS OF APRIL 14, 2008 I'M CHANGING A RULE!!!
I haven't gotten enough entries
so there will be prewrites aloud.
But be sure they are personified.
You can enter more than one poem also!
*********************************
Hello everyone this is Emily again!
This is contest #4!
This time around I'd love to see a bunch of wonderful
personified poems!
I want to read powerful poems full of imagery and
metaphors.
Please try hard.
Again, I wanted to let you all know that if I don't
see a poem that seems fit to be winner I'll stretch
the contest out a little longer.
I'll give you a few prompts and a quote or two
also a picture. Just remember READ THE RULES
or I have the ability to disqualify poems.
Sorry but I can and will do that.
Please abide by them and nothing bad will happen.
Prompts-
1. The ocean
2. The sky
3. Yourself as an animal
4. Sunlight
5. Moonlight
6. A musical instrument
7. Poems
8. A bad thought
Quotes-
1. Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul.
2. The only real prison is fear,
and the only real freedom is freedom from fear.
3. I'm against a homogenized society,
because I want the cream to rise.
4. In three words I can sum up everything I've
learned about life: it goes on.
RULES:
1. No sticky keys/ Caps Lock.
2. Nothing clique.
3. Cursing is aloud.
4. Be nice to other contestants.
5. Adult pieces need to be labeled.
6. Try out your good spelling *unlike mine*.
7. Comment other entries
(I obviously can't make you though...)
8. They need personification.

Darn, I have a PW that would fit perfectly! And just so you know, it's 'personify', not 'personificate'... Sorry, but I am a grammar whore
Anyway, good luck with this!

I'm a bit confused as to what you want in this contest. Do you want personification in any form or only pertaining to the above prompts (ocean, sky, etc.) and quotes?
-
Sorry,
I'm extremely sorry I didn't
reply back to you guys, yeah
someone tipped me about the personify thing.

Wow! Thanks for silver
