Abstract

This paper paid attention to the characteristics of Park Kyung-yong’s children’s poetry, who entered into the early Korean children’s poetry and caused a revolution in children’s poetry called “Shaped Children’s Poetry.” The image he pursued can be roughly divided into three main categories. First, the dark image of the family narrative is embodied through objects. In the dark image, there is a painful narrative of the family along with the hometown beside the sea. In order to overcome this pain, he comforts himself and embodies his longing for his family as an image. Second, it is the realization of positive energy through the image of ‘light’. At the same time, his desire to escape from the dark shadow and head to “light” is placed in the front of the city. It raises ‘light’ to present hope and elicits the fundamental question of existence. Third, it is the shaped about aesthetics of the dreams towards harmony. It aims for a world where children can realize their dreams to their heart’s content, not a world of ideology and power pursued by adults. The ‘dream’ achieves great integration with the cosmic imagination through the geometry of language. Park Kyung-yong can be said to be an image pioneer who made innovative children’s poetry development in Korean children’s poetry. As a poet who embodies “hope and dream” as an image, he recognized that childhood innocence is the source of poetry, reminding us that children’s poetry is the most important genre in the starting line of poetry.
