Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The theme or content is the main idea and essence of literary works that connects their constituent elements together. The upcoming research was written with this purpose to find out the ideas within the poems of children and adolescents in the nineties; For this purpose, two hundred volumes of books including one thousand nine hundred and thirteen poems of sixty poets were examined and it was determined that what themes and topics were used by poets within this period.

METHODOLOGY: In this research, based on library sources and analytical-descriptive method, the content of children"s and adolescent’s poetry in the nineties were investigated.

FINDINGS: After studying and examining, the intended poems were studied in categories with emotional, educational-moral, entertainment, religious, naturalism, political-social, and educational-scientific themes, and the theme and developments of each of the themes, were shown within a Ten years old path.

CONCLUSION: The results of this research show that the emotional, entertaining and happy themes have the first and second ranks, respectively, and the educational-moral theme has the lowest frequency. This shows that the pure nature of children and teenagers needs pure feelings and comforting themes more than any other theme. The entertaining and happy topics that ranked second in this survey indicates that children’s age requires happiness and happy topics should play a role in their development. The placement of educational-moral themes in the last rank can be indicative of the fact that poets have realized that writing any kind of prescription for children and teenagers, treating them like adults and raising serious issues for them is less popular with children and adolescents. Also, the scale of frequency of these themes shows that poets of children and adolescent poems have tried to have a more accurate understanding about the psychological needs of their audience than before.
