Arabic poetry, spring, Russian FormalismAbstract
This study analyzes the portrayal of spring in classical and modern Arabic poetry. It investigates the images of spring and their influence on Arabic poets. This study relies on Russian formalist approaches. It studies poems through their images, personifications, metaphors, similes, and symbols. The significance of the study is to show how classic and modern Arabic poets treat spring in their poetry, based on textual analysis. These poems glorify spring and its impact on poets. They admire spring and describe it in most of their poems. They symbolize it as a time of renewal, hope, and pleasure. Similarly, spring is a natural motive that makes poets feel the beauty of nature, touch its softness, and taste its fragrance.
