Examples of the wonderful poetic image in ancient Arabic poetry

Abstract

Arabic poetry, ancient and modern, remains a feature distinguished by the Arabs, and a distinguishing mark for which they were known, as it flows on the tongues of their poets the flow of water in the river, and flows from their mouths the flow of fresh water from the spring, as it is twittering on their tongues, and hymns that delight the speaker, the listener, the narrator, the reader, and the student Alike, he is the flame that ignited in their world hundreds of years ago, and is still glowing in every country of theirs, and in every age. The Arabic poetry that we are talking about is nothing but words organized into sentences, and not sentences organized into verses only. The contemplator of ancient Arabic poetry stands on wonderful poetic images that the poets installed in whatever form they were, and formulated them in whatever form, so that some of them, or even most of them, were unique in producing these poetic images without others, so this wonderful poetic image became specific to his wonderful poetic experience. I chose to write on this topic because of its importance in the world of poetry and the production of the poem, as a poem devoid of a poetic image is not considered a complete poem. In this research, I will present, study, and analyze some of the wonderful poetic images of some ancient poets, hoping to write another research in which I will deal with examples of the poetic image in modern Arabic poetry. The objective of the research is evident in its importance, and in the research I will approach the methods of description, induction, and analysis. And I wrote a research on the wonderful poetic image in ancient Arabic poetry, so I wanted this research to be a continuation of that research, and a complement to it. To provide a clear picture of the art of beautiful photography in ancient and modern Arabic poetry. And since this research follows the pattern of that research, and completes it, I adopted the same approach to avoid fallacy, affectation, and concavity
