#3 \april rain song\ questions 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. identify the poetic device used: a. onomatopoeia (go to #11) b. metaphor (go to #14) c. simile (go to #2) d. personification (go to #5)

Explanation:

To determine the poetic device, we analyze each option:

• Onomatopoeia: Uses words that imitate sounds. The poem doesn't have such words.
• Metaphor: Implies a direct comparison without "like" or "as". The poem doesn't do this.
• Simile: Uses "like" or "as" for comparison. The poem has no such comparisons.
• Personification: Gives human traits to non - human things. In the poem, the rain "kisses", "sings", "makes running pools", and "plays a song"—all human actions, so personification is used.

Answer:

d. Personification (Go to #5)
