  5. Personification in Poetry April Rain Song Let the rain kiss you Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops Let the rain sing you a lullaby The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk The rain makes running pools in the gutter The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night And I love the rain. By Langston Hughes http://www.shadowpoetry.com/resources/famous/hughes/4.html

  7. What did you find? After all the jacks are in their boxes  And the clowns have all gone to bed  You can hear happiness staggering on down the street  Footprints dressed in red  And the wind whispers Mary 

  8. A broom is drearily sweeping  Up the broken pieces of yesterday’s life  Somewhere a queen is weeping  Somewhere a king has no wife  And the wind, it cries Mary 

  9. The traffic lights they turn up blue tomorrow  And shine their emptiness down on my bed  The tiny island sags downstream  ‘Cause the life that lived is, is dead  And the wind screams Mary 

  10. Will the wind ever remember  The names it has blown in the past  And with his crutch, it’s old age, and it's wisdom  It whispers no, this will be the last  And the wind cries Mary

  11. Now it is time to make your own! Green: verbs Yellow: nouns
