Question

Use the poem and then answer the question.

Morning paints the sky in streaks of gold,
Soft light spills across the land.
The breeze hums gently through the trees,
Brushing leaves with a careful hand.

Birds stitch songs into the air,
Notes floating high and low.
Dewdrops glitter on the grass,
Like tiny stars in a quiet row.

Soon the sun climbs bold and bright,
Chasing shadows far away.
The world stretches, wide awake,
To greet the warming day.

Classify each line from the poem as an example of personification, simile, or neither.
