The Poetic Image in the Poetry of Sultan al-Zaghul

الصورة الشعرية في شعر سلطان الزغول

Abstract

The poetic image occupies an essential place in the composition of the poetics of the text، and through this image a distinction is made between ordinary speech and artistic speech (poetry). It is thus necessary in the poetic language، as it enriches the language with deep connotations. It is a feature used by the able poet، and harnessed in the formulation of his/her poetic experience to embody feelings and diagnose thoughts and ideas، as it is the basic pillar upon which the creator relies to reach the truth of the poetic experience and communicate it to the recipient (reader)، and the poet turns to it whenever he wants to express his/her authentic feelings in an honest expression that fits with the psychological state، as well as the poet takes it as a way to translate his feelings and attitudes in a special artistic style. This is tangible in the artistic works of the poet Sultan Al-Zaghoul، who has a great deal of originality and poetic in the description and depiction of many of his poetic stanzas that he derives from his substantial and actual reality. This indicates that the image for him was the result of the kind observation of realistic viewing، in which the poet suffices to estimate the similarities between the assets he pursues and captures. He is entrusted with it and establishes from it a poetic world that can be touched and felt. I have decided within myself from the beginning to turn to the most prominent artistic phenomena that attract the attention of researchers and students of literature، which is the poetic image in the poetry of Sultan Al-Zaghoul as one of the important and basic criteria in judging poetry، and as it also represents the essence of poetry and the most important means of the poet in conveying his experience in actual reality.
