The poet embodied these images via creative artistic energies that enriched his poetic texts.

This requires monitoring the objective and artistic aspects of the poetic imagery, which represents the spirit and foundation of the poem, and uncovering its semantic and suggestive dimensions through a solid artistic structure. The study chose his poetic texts as the procedural space by presenting a distinctive poetic model full of expressive connotations of his pains and sufferings, which was analyzed and criticized. the research is divided into an abstract in Arabic and English, an introduction, a preamble, and three sections. The first section addressed the metaphorical image, and the second section discussed the simile, while the third section focused on the metonymy image.
