康原台語詩歌創作，延續其以家鄉彰化為中心的鄉土史書寫，以囡仔歌形式與風格為基調，運用常民生活經驗、民間傳說、俗諺俚語以及台語音韻，展現以鄉土意象為中心的詩歌美學。從台語詩歌發展脈絡來看，康原作品的意義在於透過囡仔歌系列創作，將1990 年代以來的本土文化追尋，落實到兒童啟蒙的傳承工作上，對康原本人而言，則是召喚鄉土記憶中的桃花源，一個屬於純真年代的鄉土記憶。

Kang-Yuan composes his Taiwanese poetry to continue the nativist history writing based on his hometown Zhanghua; the poet applies Taiwanese nursery rhymes as its keynote, using civic life experiences, folk legends, idioms and Taiwanese rhymes to create the poetic aesthetics featuring native-land imagery. Put in the context of Taiwanese poetry development, the significance of Kang-Yuan’s compositions lies in the children enlightenment which is done through passing down Taiwanese nursery rhymes and which exemplifies Kang-Yuan’s long-time nativist culture pursuit since 1990’s. For Kang-Yuan himself, the writing of nursery rhymes also evokes a Utopia in native land memory, a memory of the age of innocence.
