A personification is like a metaphor, but abstractly is represented as in person.
A description of an object as being a living person or animal as in: "The frowning cliff". This relates to human qualities, as the word frowning, is used as a human expression. In poems, personifications are widely used to interest the reader more.
In conclusion, personifications are used metaphorically to describe an object with human qualities abstractly. Many of these are used in poems.
