When an animal in literature is given human traits—such as stories where a rabbit wears a dress, a frog goes to school and plays soccer, or a community of fish lives in a high-tech city made of coral—this is called “personification.”
Use the literary device of personification to write a short poem about an animal who can talk, cook, build, or do whatever a human can! Try making it a Limerick, which has a rhyme scheme of AABBA, in which the first, second and fifth line rhyme, while the third and fourth lines are shorter and share a different rhyme.
Here’s an example of a limerick poem about a snoring elephant:
An elephant lay in his bunk,
In slumber his chest rose and sunk,
He snored and he snored
Till the jungle folks roared-
Then his wife tied a knot in his trunk.
