The form of this poem is not metrical, but prose, which makes this poem more free in expression, but not lacking in poetry.
In fact, in every sentence, there is an inherent rhythm and rhythm between sentences, which naturally blends with the images and themes to be expressed, making this well-known poem.
The whole poem creates an innocent child image for us and expresses the theme of love and beauty that the author has been paying attention to. This pure expression of childlike innocence can awaken the warmth in readers' hearts. An image that runs through this poem is a paper boat. The whole poem begins with putting a paper boat, ends with seeing a paper boat in a dream, and there are scenes and associations when putting a paper boat in the middle.
The paper boat here is not only a little sustenance for the little hero, but also a metaphor for the media leading to the outside world and the future. It is in the connection with the paper boat that the little hero shows his curiosity and innocence. The whole poem is natural, simple and beautiful, with the style of pastoral poetry.
This can also be realized from some images used in the poem, such as streams, villages, gardens, beautiful flowers and so on. These images, natural or close to nature, create a simple and pure atmosphere for the whole poem. They are combined with the naive little hero and the naive behavior of the paper boat, which harmoniously highlights the theme.
