The term "poetess" is considered outdated, and it is more common to use "poet" for both men and women. However, if you still want to use "poetess," you would make it possessive by adding an apostrophe and an "s" at the end, like this: poetess's.

When you apostrophize a poem, you address the person you are writing your poem about. For example:

Busy old fool, unruly sun,

Why dost thou thus,

Through windows, and through curtains call on us?

This is an excerpt from The Sun Rising by John Donne.

This is when a character or narrator talks to something that cannot reply, such as an object. A famous example would be when Hamlet talks to Yorick's skull.

; An apostrophe is a group of words that are spoken to a person who is absent or imaginary, or to an object or abstract idea. The effect depends on the apostrophe and the poem itself.
