"My antlers have bloomed" is the poet Angel's first children's poetry anthology.
The poet jumps out of the trap of words and thinking, and everywhere he goes, the scenery he sees, even if it is a fallen leaf or a lonely twinkling star, can arouse the echo of poetry in the poet's heart.
The book is divided into four volumes, with imaginative illustrations, forming a different world of children's poetry. The poet believes that every poet has a child who does not want to grow up in his heart, and the children's poem is the child who speaks.

"My antlers have bloomed" poetry selection
Gift of the Goddess ▍
Every day
There is a goddess who does not sleep
Overnight to control the blue sky
白云
and the sun, so that in the moment you open your eyes
Received this
A gift from the goddess!

Mother chicken has just come off the stove
He also wore an apron, which was a little wrinkled
The apron was a little wrinkled, and it didn't stop her sagging lower abdomen
This makes her look honest and kind
Follow the direction of Daddy Chicken's eyes
She saw the monkeys tidy up
Prepare for a retreat –
"Our year is coming!"
Four thin claws
It also has the power to grasp the earth.
Spreading clouds ▍
I borrowed a day of somersault clouds from Sun Wukong
Fly up, ha, the sky is high and the clouds are light
Drive!
I gestured with a whip, somersault clouds
Whistling all the way, the sky is full of chaos
Let's just let the somersault cloud jump
I don't really know where I'm going
The world is too big
Even if there is a somersault cloud, it can't be turned
And it's only one day
So I said to the somersault cloud—
Go as you go
Go wherever you want. Are you sure? Spreading clouds
Le Zizi replied -
I don't want to go anywhere
I want to sleep. I followed Sun Wukong, I was too tired.
The Sisters，Mary Cassatt，1885
Extrastellar ▍
constancy
There is an alien planet that people are in accordance with
This one looks long: a large left eye, triangular;
Small right eye, diamond-shaped. Two black eyes
The right eye huddled together ignores the left eye, which makes the left eye
It's a little lonely, a little aggrieved.
Its nose is a stretchable
The retractable ladder, it goes up to the sky and into the earth, relying on this
Ladder of the nose. It is old as soon as it is born
Wrinkles on the forehead are evidence
Its mouth was furled, and its face was full of displeasure. Skinny aliens –
The body is filled with fields, shells, compasses, and the sea
It walks on its feet
Two flowers followed by a tremble, two
The fan-like flower is its grain channel, through which it passes
They receive foreign nourishment to ensure that they do not go hungry
It's an extraterrestrial person I made
It has not yet come to Earth
The sugar jar is poured ▍
The sugar jar is poured
It was the ants who first discovered this fact
Ants have the most sensitive sense of smell in the world
Nothing escapes its tracking
The sugar jar is over, and the ants are coming
First one, then a friend, one
Another one. The sugar jar is poured
The army of ants traveled thousands of miles to come
They're one by one
One by one, the sugar is to be transported back to their homes
Rations for this winter
Shinjuku!
The Child's Bath，Mary Cassatt，1893
Tent ▍
Today
I also didn't see a floor in a tent
Two floors
Three floors
But the ancestors of painting
Six floors were built in tents
The first floor is inhabited by six people
Seven people live on the second floor
The third floor is inhabited by three people
The fourth floor is inhabited by two people
The fifth floor is inhabited by one person
Sixth floor
This is the highest layer
I didn't see anyone
I guess this floor is for beauty, and it can also be for dreams
Give hope.
Blooming to the window of the rosewood ▍
They can actually hang in the air
Walk through 15 floors of fine steel wire mesh to them
Directly stood out the window
Three dill flowers without fear of heights
Shaped like a trumpet
After a deep night's sleep, they precede the homeowner from the darkness
Woke up and smiled out of his five-petal lips
Chaoyang Experimental Primary School is 500 meters away
The children are doing radio gymnastics: one, two, three, four
Two-two-three-four
My dogles shake their little pink hands
Little tender feet: one, two, three, four
Two-two-three-four. Let's do a morning workout together
A new day begins!
Autumn to ▍
Autumn came to Yanbian before me
It holds the palette in its left hand and a paintbrush in its right
Give the maple tree a touch of red
Give poplars a little yellow
Give Jindalai a little purple, only pine sylvestris
It's very stubborn, how to not let it on, well, autumn said
You just stay in your green
A one-man tall corn stalk
The corn has been picked, and in autumn and autumn, I will also color it
Autumn splashes of paint buckets, boom, full, full
Golden. The rice was shaken so that the eyes glowed, autumn
In autumn, I want it golden too!
Splash another bucket of paint in the fall
What a pleasure! The ears of rice are bright, the stalks of rice are bright, a piece
A world of light
Autumn and autumn, I just arrived in Yanbian, and I also want to be all-over
Golden, I'm going to shine too
I'm going to shine too
Autumn calls the sun, for a moment
I'm brilliant and beautiful!
Story Book，William-Adolphe Bouguereau，1877
Postscript ▍
Like a dream, I suddenly want to publish a collection of children's poems.
But when I write, there is no distinction between adult poetry and children's poetry in my heart, and I don't deliberately think about whether to write adult poetry or children's poetry. Some are like a child who does not know the world, full of innocent and lively expressions, so I know that I have always had a child living in me, although I think I am over half a hundred years old and no longer have children. But who stipulates that the criterion for judging adults and children is age? Some people are old at birth, never have children, and have never been young, and some people, until they have gray hair, are also a child, and their eyes and actions to look at the world and deal with the world have always been so simple and innocent.
Yes, children's poetry is pure and innocent.
In children's poems, all things are animistic and all beings are equal, man is not necessarily superior to others, man is only a part of the world, and must live in harmony with all things. In children's poems, autumn is the most beloved child of Daddy Sunshine, not just a concept that represents the seasons, and all kinds of education we receive in the classroom, about parts of speech, about subject-verb, object-verb, and strong complement, can be changed, because children are the least restricted by rules and regulations. The world in the eyes of children and the world in the eyes of adults are definitely not the same world. In the children's poems, my whimsy was recognized and respected by myself, no one would say that I was confused, and I was as happy and sweet as the ant who found that the sugar pot had fallen over...... Stay curious about the world, squat down to talk to a grass, jump up to pick stars, this is the beauty of children's poetry!
Thanks to Fujian Juvenile and Children's Publishing House for accepting and publishing this collection of children's poems, and to Professor Wu Mingchun of Fujian Normal University for writing the preface to this collection of children's poems. This is a collection of children's poems that can be read by both adults and children, and I hope you will enjoy it.
