poetic device: Anthropomorphism & Personification
Anthropomorphism is when animals or objects behave like people, such as a cat who learns karate, or a dog who can talk or play piano.
Personification is similar, but is when animals or objects have seemingly human characteristics, such as a tree waving it’s “arms” in the breeze.
These poems all have anthropomorphic characters or some degree of personification.
