The personification in this poem could be seen where the two trees exhibit people-like behaviour in that they purposely lean together. Another personification is that the trees whisper to each other, again another behaviour attributed to people. The lack of conjuctions like 'seem' or 'act' makes the use of figure of speech not a simile. The figure of speech is not metaphor either because the objects are not human beings given non-humanlike behaviour.

I'm not going to write it but the elms are being talked about as if they were human, heads leaning together and whispering. Thats what you need to write about
