Abstract

There are many ways that people have done in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, and one of them is through poetry, such as Tangguh Langit Mahajuna (7 years old). His poem entitled Corona Virus was posted by the Governor of West Java, Indonesia, Ridwan Kamil on April 2, 2020 with 182,200 likes. And it makes this poem interesting to analyse. This study aims to describe rhythm, rhyme, sound pattern, repetition, and imagery. The study will also be seeking the semantic development in creating a poem in elementary students. The research method used is qualitative. This research is conducted by analysing, because the data itself doesn’t contain or need a numerical technique in reaching fully interpretations. The grand theory used in this paper is Norton (1983) looking the children elements in children’s literature. The results show that rhythm, rhyme, sound pattern, repetition, and imagery in poem show the feeling of what they face during pandemic situations, but also offering a positive spirit for all of the people in facing this moment. The conclusion shows us that poetry in children’s poems can be used as a medium to encourage and emphasize readers in this pandemic situation.
