Explanation:

Walt Whitman is known for his use of personification in his poems. Personification is a poetic device where non - human things are given human qualities. This helps in emphasizing ideas by making the description more vivid and relatable. Stressed syllables, meter, and rhyme schemes are more related to the rhythm and structure of poetry in a more traditional sense. Whitman's poetry often breaks away from traditional metrical and rhyming structures.

C. Personification
