Abstract
Using literary and educational points of view, this study examined the prizewinning poems for children in the Annual Literary Contest sponsored by the Dongah-ilbo and the Chosun-ilbo between the 1970s and 2001. The average age of both male and female writers increased over time, 82％ were college graduates, and 54％ were educators. All of the poems referred to nature in some ways, either as the major theme(42％) or in passing reference to some aspect of nature(58％). Onomato-poetic words were used in 71％ of the poems; similes and metaphors were expressed in 13％ and 51％, respectively; 58％ were written from a mediator`s point of view; 59％ were in the present tense; 78％ of the space elements were fixed; and 98％ were written in free verse. In conclusion, the poems for children of the Annual Literary Contest should be used in literary education with guidelines for the appreciation, creation, and criticism of poems for children.
