Abstract
The research delved into the aesthetic values of sound in Indonesian children's poetry, focusing on phonetic features such as alliteration, assonance, anaphora, epistrophe, and rhyme. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative analysis, the research scrutinized 50 children’s poems from diverse sources to uncover the roles these sound elements play in enhancing the poetic experience. Findings revealed that these phonetic strategies significantly contribute to the rhythm and musicality of children's poetry, thereby engaging young readers and enriching their literary appreciation. Conclusively, the study underscores the importance of sound aesthetics in children’s poetry and suggests incorporating these elements into educational curriculums to cultivate a deeper appreciation for poetic forms. This research enriches literary studies by highlighting the utility of phonetic aesthetics in children's literature, thereby bridging a gap in existing literary analysis.
