However, due to the wide coverage of children's poetry, other styles and contents of children's literature are often included in the shell of poetry. Therefore, children's poems can be divided into fairy tale poems, fable poems, science poems, story poems, satirical poems, painting poems and so on. The following are the main forms of different types of children's poems.
lyrics
Lyric poetry is a literary style in which the author directly expresses his inner thoughts and feelings in the tone of the protagonist and forms images. Generally speaking, this kind of poetry does not express the mind according to the actions or stories of the characters, nor does it completely describe the characters, but directly reveals the soul of the lyric hero, with obvious self-color. Adolescent children are more inclined to this literary style with the most lyrical personality. For example, Qiao Yu's Let's Paddle, Ke Yan's My Grandpa's Seed Dream, Tang Qi's Stream, Yang Huan's Home, and Van Gogh's I See the Wind. , are the favorite lyrics of children readers.
ballad
Narrative poetry is a literary style that uses the language of poetry to express the relationship between characters or events through specific life scenes, create a beautiful artistic conception and truly express emotions.
Narrative poems mostly rely on the plot or characters to start the preface, but it does not necessarily require the completeness of the plot. The plot structure allows a big jump, which is to express people and things with strong poetry. The famous poet Guo Xiaochuan once said that "strangeness, beauty and emotion" are "what a good narrative poem needs" because children like to read narrative poems with characters and plots. "Strange" refers to the ingenious plot arrangement in narrative poems; "Beauty" means that poetry should form a beautiful artistic conception, with concise language and vivid image; "Emotion" means that poetry is full of emotion and interest. Li Ji's A Boy on Three Sides, Ren Rongrong's Dad's Teacher, The Secret of Ke Yan's Hat and Jin Jin's The Good Hunter on Tianmu Mountain are all representative works of narrative poetry.
fairy poem

Fairy tale poetry is usually regarded as a unique style of children's poetry. At the same time, it is a popular literary style for preschool children and preschool children. A poet said: "I often think that poetry should be full of the fantasy color of fairy tales, and I often think that the fantasy fairy tale world should have the meaning of poetry." I love fairy tales, and I love fairy tales. "(Zhang Qiusheng)

La Fontaine in France17th century and krylov in Russia19th century both wrote a large number of fable poems which were deeply loved by children. The Fly on the Train by Gao Hongbo, a contemporary writer in China, and The Snail in Relation by Zhang Qiusheng are both representative works.

For example, Ren Rongrong's satirical poem "Dress for a Strong Man" depicts the slowness of dressing for a strong man in an extremely exaggerated way: getting up in the morning and dressing until evening.
