What does it mean to apostrophize a poem to something?

In: Academic Writing, Poetry, Apostrophes and Ellipses [Edit categories]

Answer:

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.
