2. What is personification?
Personification in poetry shows inanimate objects, animals, or ideas, (non living) taking on human characteristics. Hey diddle, Diddle, The cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped over the moon; The little dog laughed To see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon.

3. My Dinner Loves Dancing
My food loves to prance, to jump, to dance; I wait for the time, I wait for the chance! As mommy goes in and out of the room; tables and chairs become their ballroom! I flick my fingers; swing my wrist. Beans and turkey are doing the twist Peas, plumbs, apples or mangos; on to the walls, they're doing the tango!

4. My Town by Sharon Hendricks
The leaves on the ground danced in the wind
The brook sang merrily as it went on its way.
The fence posts gossiped and watched cars go by
which winked at each other just to say hi.
The traffic lights yelled, ”Stop, slow, go!”
The tires gripped the road as if clinging to life.
Stars in the sky blinked and winked out
While the hail was as sharp as a knife.
What does each of the above lines mean?
