a bit of poetry bit my finger
lightly begging for a bit of attention
i shook it off and went on my way
it followed me down the vacant street
and into my own four wooden walls of space
it sat by me while I busied myself with other things
crawled on my pillow and whistled through the night
trying to find a door into my dreams
swimming in my cup of tea it
looked for an opening
slipped into my pocket and waited
for me to find it next to my favourite pen
and with surprise I scrawled a hasty line
and sent the funny thing home

What's it called when you
What's it called when you take an inanimate object or an animal and describe it as if it has a personality?
Whatever it's called, you did it enchantingly.
I have hated the words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right. --The Book Thief
Thank you very much for all
Thank you very much for all the lovely comments! It's called personification, and it's a poetic device that I love playing with--it's really quite fun! :-)

I love it! So very true--a poem nags you until you finally write it down.
