An apostrophe is a figurative device in which the speaker calls out an absent person or an inanimate object or concept in order to express his or her emotion. Hence, you may see the apostrophe is often used alongside an exclamation mark.
Oh wind, caress me with your many nurturing hands.
Calling out an inanimate object (the wind) to address it = apostrophe
Ascribing human features (hands) to the wind = personification
Attributing human emotions (nurturing) to the wind = pathetic fallacy
Oh clouds, cover my shame with your forgiving arms.
Calling out an inanimate object (clouds) to address them = apostrophe
Ascribing human features (arms) to clouds = personification
Attributing human emotions (forgiving) to clouds = pathetic fallacy
Daisy, what a splendid smile you bounteously bestow on me.
Calling out an inanimate object (daisy) to address it = apostrophe
Ascribing human features (smile) to a daisy = personification
Attributing human emotions (bounteous = generous) to the daisy = pathetic fallacy
