Personification

When she warmed
and whispered awakened, soft vibrations
he brought his bow, aloft, to supple strings
to slide in flowing motion
above the bending bridge.

This poem, entitled Cello is one that I found while looking for a good use of personification. The writer uses sexually implicit wording talking about a man playing a cello- or more accurately the cello being played by a man- wanting to be played. This is a good example of personification. The cello performs human actions- (whispered, awakened) and you can apply the meaning of the words to a cello and a woman interchangeably.
