Question

Read this sentence.

"I absolutely had to write this poem."

Imagine that the writer revised this sentence to include personification. Which revised sentence uses personification?


"The poem was like a smile in my mind."


"The poem was begging to be written."


"The poem was about a crazy skateboarder."


"The poem was harder to write than a concrete block."

Answer 1

"The poem was begging to be written."

This attributes a human action/urge ("begging") to the non-human poem, which is personification.
