description

The way wind is presented in poems for children can be seen already in their titles. Most of them treat wind as the protagonist, the prime mover of natural phenomena (‘W ind’, ‘On Wind’, ‘Windy Mischief’, ‘What the W ind Looks Like’) or the parallel hero (‘W ind and Sea’, ‘Book and Wind’), others strongly emphasise the educational, concept-defining role of the presentation (‘Wind’, ‘With the Wind’, ‘On Wind’), and still others additionally use personification to present the theme in a playful manner (‘Rascal Wind’, ‘Windy Mischief’, ‘Mr Wind’). The authors depict wind as a particular character: a boy, guitarist, tramp, etc. to educate children about the air element in a simple and attractive manner. The titles also indicate different types of wind and the accompanying changes in naturę (‘Two Winds’, ‘W ind over the Sea’, ‘November Wind’). To make the image more complete, expressive, and sensuous, the poets use onomatopoeic words. Thanks to the above measures, the wind in poetry for children moves about and makes sounds, dances and plays, making its image more dynamic and melodie.
