Shows that the architecture of a children's poetic text is based on systematic use of repetition and contrast at different levels of analysis, which allow the continuous flow of gesture to be segmented into structural units of different relative size. Suggests the study of poetry allows the isolation of universals of language. (Author/VWL)
