Definition: Personification is when you give human traits and characteristics to any object,animal, or thing that isn't human.
Example:
"The teapot sang as the water boiled
The ice cubes cackled in their glass
the teacups chattered to one another.
While the chairs were passing gas
The gravy gurgled merrily
As the oil danced in a pan.
Oh my dinnertime chorus
What a lovely, lovely clan!"

This poem talks about objects and non-human things like tea cups and ice cubes and giving them human traits and characteristics.
Significance: Personification in a poem is important because without personification, poets would not be able to compare non-human obeects or animals, and give them human characteristics. This gives you better undetstanding of the poem, and compares them with one another in a way that is both understandable, and easy to comprehend.
