本文討論渡也兒童詩。作為一位多產的詩人,學術界對渡詩作的特色和風格,多有討論,對渡也的「兒童詩」卻一直之闕如。本文先探討國內兒童詩界的發展,確認渡也兒童詩創作的價值和意義,同時,考察渡也對兒童詩創作的主張,指出他不只主張兒童詩應淺語,並且也要考慮不同齡層的閱讀能力,不宜從成人的角度出發,寫成標語。渡也為裨補本土兒童讀物的缺乏,保持赤子之心,與兒子共賞析的樂趣而寫作兒童詩,本論文從「家庭互動」、「校園生活」、「社區交往」、「環保生態」等不同主題,去探討渡也兒童詩的創作內容與修辭特色,並進而指出他的兒童詩風格純樸自然而不做作、詼諧而有趣味、內涵具「哲理之美」,語言淺顯易懂。最後,說明渡也的兒童詩不只符合童語,更具有他獨一無二的特色,敢於呈現兒童生活中遭遇的困境,如父親的過度管教,校園或社區的霸凌,地球深受人類殘害等。即使是兒童詩,渡也仍保有他一貫的熱愛鄉土、關懷社會與批判人生的積極態度。
This research described a study of children poetries by Du-Ye. Du-Ye is a productive poet, and academia has raised many discussions based on the characteristics and style of his poetries; however, the discussion of children poetries by Du-Ye has been lacked. This study first examined the domestic development of poetries for children, confirming the meaning and value of Du-Ye’s Children poetries creation. Meanwhile, this study also indicated Du-Ye’s propose of shallow language used for children poetries, the consideration of reading comprehension based on different disparity age, and the idea of avoiding writing from adults’ viewpoints. In order to compensate the deficiency of local poetries for children and appreciate children poetries with his son together, Du-Ye starts to write children poetries. This study further discussed the content and rhetoric features of Du-Ye’s creation for children poetry based on different themes: family interaction, campus life, community, environmental ecology. It is noted that the style of Du-Ye’s children poetry is natural, witty, interesting, and contained with “essence of philosophy” by shallow language. Finally, this study indicated that Du-Ye’s children poetries not only used children language but also creates its unique style, which presents some plights encountered by children in daily life, like the excessive discipline conducted by father, school bullying, serious pollution problems caused by human beings. Even as a poet for children poetries, Du-Ye still holds a positive attitude ─with his love towards this land, his caring for society, and life criticism ─towards his compositions.
