POETRY OF DMITRIY SIROTIN FOR CHILDREN: THINKING WITH ANALOGIES
Poems by Dmitriy Sirotin often have the plot and character. The author is trying to convey identity of child’s consciousness. This poetry opens a familiar but always mysterious world. Sirotin invites the reader to look at the role-play situation from different points of view. If an adult person understands life, the child feels reality intuitively, and he is able to transfigure it mythologically. This poet resorts to method of analogy in different levels of text. Search of words that coincide in sound and form stimulates wordplay. Analogy gives an opportunity to compare the two things of reality. In addition, the author finds existential similarity in these things, it helps to overcome the difference between the Me and the Other.
