Here's my second try on personification! This one's about friendship, bravery and love. The idea is to give confidence to the unique people out there and tell them that, yes, there is someone for you in this world. A long poem, yes, but it'll be worth a read.
By the river
In an island lost in time
A forest stood strong and tall.
There was never a sound or sign
Of all the creatures that creeped and crawled.
In the depths of the canopy
Lived two mighty clans.
The mockingbirds and the jabber jays
Both unaware of the other's land.
Everyday, Miles, a mockingbird
Would fly down to the river.
Just to get away from his herd
He'd stay there all night and shiver.
In the same frame of mind
Was Jade, a jabber jay.
She wanted to get away from her kind
Because they just couldn't understand her way.
By the river everyday
These two birds would stay.
Not knowing the presence of the other, they
Always sat alone, watching the sun drown in the bay.
One autumn evening Miles heard the flutter of wings
Thought he was being followed he stayed alert.
But to his surprise it was a strange bird
Looking as startled as he was from within.
Never had Jade seen a bird
With such mighty wings.
Never had she ever heard
Of anyone other than her kin.
As days turned into weeks
The two sprouted into good friends.
Jade felt she was no longer the freak
And Miles thought he didn't have any tweaks.
The two were in perfect sync
They had so many things in common.
It was like they had found their missing link
With someone who had nothing to do with them.
Winter was round the corner
And the birds were ready to migrate.
The two friends had to go their separate ways
And just go through the wait.
But Jade was a fighter
And didn't want to give up so easily.
She knew she would see a day when things were brighter
And didn't want to give up on it already.
She took the bold risk to fly away
From her family with Miles.
She knew there'd come a day
When she'd break free from all the denials.
They're both living happily to this day
In a land known to none.
With little Mockingjays on the way
Their adventures together have only just begun!
