Clouds float,
Clouds float,
Some are like cakes,
Some are like bread.
The flowers call:
Cloud, cloud, come down,
I want to eat cake.
This sapling is called:
Cloud, cloud, come down,
I want to eat bread.
Clouds float,
Clouds float,
Eating cake and bread hand in hand,
Whoosh, whoosh, it fell.
Flowers open their mouths,
I am full.
The sapling opened its mouth,
I am full.
The flowers said:
The cake is sweet,
The cake smells good,
Yuner cake tastes good!
The sapling said:
Bread is sweet,
Bread smells good,
Cloud bread croakes!

From Chang's children's poem Where Are Children?
.
This is a sweet and fragrant children's poem. In the poem, the author combines natural phenomena such as clouds, flowers and trees with children's life phenomena through bold association, endowing things with images and spirituality, and shaping two lively and lovely images of gluttony and sweet dolls.
The whole poem consists of seven sections. The first and fourth sections mainly use metaphor. First, the clouds floating in the sky are compared to cakes and bread, and then the rain is naturally called cakes and bread. The other five parts vividly compare flowers and saplings to two lively and lovely children who want cake and bread. For example, the fifth section: flowers open their mouths,/eat. /The sapling opens its mouth,/It's full. /Here, flowers and saplings are directly described by the action state of characters eating. The second, third, sixth and seventh paragraphs directly describe flowers and saplings in the characters' language.
In addition, the author has also made great efforts in the rhyme and internal rhythm of the poem, and the whole poem reads smoothly.
The concrete and sensible image, lively and lovely emotion and catchy rhythm make the whole poem full of childlike interest.
