A poem’s rhythm is one of its key features, and a very important element in making language imaginary. The poet does not compose a poem according to a predefined framework; rather all the elements are created in conformity with content and substance. Inconsistency of rhythm and content could be suggestive of the poem’s artificiality. Children’s poetry, too, has a structure in which all the elements come together to form a true system, and it is only when all the elements of a poem correspond to form that this system functions successfully. In order to find the secret to the success of two famous poets in the genre of children’s poetry, namely, Mostafa Rahmandoost and Naser Keshavarz, a great number of their poems and the degree of harmony between rhythm and content in them were analyzed and compared with each other. It can be argued that with regards to the type of rhythm and the poem’s content, a considerable percentage of the poems had this concordance.

Keywords: poem, Rhythm, content, Naser Keshavarz, Mostafa Rahmandoost
