Personification Is My Favorite Poem To Write

Personification is my favorite poem to write.
I can fly to my nest and feed my eaglets, 
or I can scare humans to death with my wolf howl.
Personification forces me to enter my subject's heart and soul

Not easily done unless you have experience, and enthusiasm for it.
I love this type of poem the best, for I have mastered it in some ways.
I have been a Sears catalog, a Merry-go-round, and a rabbit.
My pages, ponies, and carrot munching teeth show you this, right?

Personification makes me feel safe, flows over my dendrites gladly.
My muse gets excited and begins typing before I have time to agree.
I have been a pirate's parrot, and a Iron's spray bottle.
I have been a mountain range, and a mouse's mistress.

Once you get the hang of it, you may feel joy and excitement.
Developing more character traits like self-respect and self-control
is a mere sideline benefit. Personification. My favorite poetry type.
Come sit by me, we can write your first one together, my friend.

Thank you Arturo. I had given up writing for about thirty years, so glad "I am back". It completes me.
