Personifcation

Definition: Making soemthing sound like it is a human or giving a non human attributes of a human.

Example:

The teapot sang as the water boiled
The ice cubes cackled in their glass
the teacups chattered to one another.
While the chairs were passing gas
The gravy gurgled merrily
As the oil danced in a pan.
Oh my dinnertime chorus
What a lovely, lovely clan!

Significance: It makes poems better because it makes the poem stand out more.
