Sunflowers
by Beverly McLoughland

They stand along the railroad tracks
wide-eyed,
stretching their long necks,
gazing into the distance—
like impatient travelers
waiting for the 3 o’clock train.

Answer:

The flowers are personified as humans.

Explanation:

In the poem the writer uses words that make the flowers sound alive. Wide-eyed gazing into the distance, waiting for the 3 o'clock train. The flowers seem to be more alive this way rather than if you were to describe only their physical attributes.
