How can poetry surprise you? 
Poetry sometimes surprises us because the poet uses language in unusual ways.
Perhaps the poet creates a new twist on an old topic.
Because poetry can surprise us, we become more interested in it and we want to read more of it.

A simile is a comparison of two unlike things using the words like or as.
A metaphor is also a comparison, but there is no comparison words.
Personification is when the author gives objects that are not alive human qualities.
