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.
