A Line of Rhyme, A World of Imagination｜一童詩，一畫面

When Words Are More Than Words: Imagery and the Spark of

Imagination｜當文字不是只是文字：詩的畫面感與想像力的觸發

A children's poem, though short and simple, holds tremendous power.

When a child hears the line: “The big water buffalo’s back is itchy, the egret

comes to scratch it,” what do they picture?

一首童詩，雖然短小，卻蘊含無窮力量。

當孩子聽見：「大水牛背很癢，白鷺鷥來抓抓癢」，腦海中浮現的是什麼畫面？

A gentle buffalo standing by the field, a light egret landing on its broad back, like

a professional masseuse. In that instant, the child’s mind begins playing a silent

yet vivid movie—full of interaction, sensation, and emotion.

一頭溫柔的大水牛站在田埂邊，一隻輕巧的白鷺鷥落在牠寬大的背上，彷彿專業的

按摩師。孩子的腦海，開始演出一場互動的、感官的、甚至情緒性的微電影。

Poetry is the spark that lights up the “mind’s eye.” Unlike a story, it doesn't lay out

a clear beginning, middle, and end. Instead, it opens a space for the child to

freely piece together their own memories, emotions, and creative interpretations.

詩，是激發「心中之眼」的火花。它不像故事那樣有明確起承轉合，而是開啟了一

個自由拼貼記憶、情感與創意的空間。

As a child listens to a poem, they are translating it internally:

Sound → Image → Emotion → Action

孩子在聽詩的同時，其實進行了一場腦內的轉譯過程：

聲音 → 意象 → 情感 → 行動

Therefore, imagination is Not Abstract—It’s Transformational !

因此，想像力不是空泛抽象的，它是一個轉化的歷程!

詩，是一扇門，畫，是那扇門開啟後的世界

A poem is a doorway; a painting is the world that unfolds beyond it.

從「大水牛背很癢，白鷺鷥來抓抓癢」這樣的詩開始，讓語言不只被「讀懂」，更被「畫出」、「活出」、「感受出」。

From simple verses such as “The great water buffalo’s back is itchy, and the egret comes to ease the itch,” language transcends mere comprehension—it is drawn, it is lived, it is felt.

童詩:

大水牛背很癢，白鷺鷥來抓抓癢

輕輕啄、輕輕跳

牛兒開心哞哞叫
