Firmly looking
into a shell tight clock,
it blinks a minute over
and taps it's tin feet
all over it's mouth,
there's a hidden gift
blended into it's mirrored stove body.
Author notes
The last lines previously:
"there's a present
blended into it's body."

I'm not that good at personification because I don't use it that much, but this was a fun excersize and I hope you like my big attempt!
P.S. I couldn't figure out how to incorporate the "duck egg blue" part, but everything else was used from the prompt.

this was nice

i really think you used this exercise well- this is definitely personification
and i think you were able to use the item efficiently.
the word present seems odd to me there.. that is the only stumbling block i have on this piece
thanks so much for entering

Wowee with effort's relief!
And, I happily revised the last two lines because you didn't get the "present" part just so you know,

i think you did pretty well with this... even though it was one of the harder ones..
well done and many thanks for entering the contest -
I'm sorry but there are only two choices left- the egg timer and the apostle spoons.. you can choose either of those if you'd like. The red farm tractor was chosen yesterday.

I was thinking the used up ones were the dark shades as the example, but now it's more clear!
