Many times in descriptive writing, you'll come across personification, especially if you're reading or writing poetry. Personification is giving human traits (qualities, feelings, action, or characteristics) to non-living objects (things, colors, qualities, or ideas).
For example, consider this sentence: The rain kissed my cheeks as it fell. It's impossible for rain to do an action such as "kiss" someone on the cheek. However, that paints and picture in the reader's mind!
Think of a non-living object and some human trait that you could use with it. Below are some examples of sentences that use personification.
The palm tree danced in the wind.
Her yellow polka dots screamed with their brightness.
The huge pumpkin sat in the middle of the field.
