Patterns of Sensory Imagery in the selections of Abu al-Baqa al-Rundi from the Book (Al-Wafi in the Organisation of Rhymes)

Abstract

This research aims to reveal the characteristics of Abu Al-Baqa Al-Rundi's selections in the book (Al-Wafi in the System of Rhymes), from the patterns of the sensory image, which embodied the poets' experiences, as these images varied between the visual, auditory, olfactory, taste, and tactile images, as these images emerge from poetic texts, chosen by Abu Al-Baqa Al-Rundi from poems by poets belonging to different time periods, and this indicates the critical role of the senses in developing the poetic image, as the poetic image is an essential element in the structure of the poetic text, through which poets can express their poetic experiences, and reveal the secrets of their emotional and psychological selves, so the poetic image was a tool that suggests their poetic vision, and embodies their different positions and opinions, and the poetic image was not limited in its patterns to images based on the various sciences of rhetoric, such as simile, metaphor, and metonymy, but other patterns of images appeared, depending in their formation on the human senses, which Through it, he can perceive things and transfer those perceptions and sensations to the outside world. Writers and critics have been interested in this type of poetic imagery. Because it represents a type of modern poetic image, based on sensory impression, it is based directly on the poet's mental perception of things, relying on his senses, to show a sensory image that affects the recipient's soul, and the book (Al-Wafi in the System of Rhymes) is one of the essential sources, which is full of sensory poetic images, as the selected poetic texts were distinguished by the use of this type of poetic imagery, as the sensory style formed a significant space in the poetic texts in the book, so the poets expressed through their sensory imagery their different poetic experiences, in a manner that is consistent with their eras and environments to which they belong, so the sensory poetic image in this book came expressing emotional contemplations and diverse psychological emotions, characterised by the diversity of styles and their beauty, emerging from their vision of reality and their view of life, and this is what prompted us to choose the book as a subject of study, with the aim of identifying the aesthetics of sensory imagery among the poets whose poetic creativity Al-Rundi chose, and in this study I relied on a method Descriptive and analytical, concerned with deducing the artistic aspects and revealing their beauty, as the poetic image and its sensory pattern were one of those artistic aspects that have a broad impact and influence on the soul. The sensory patterns varied in the book (Al-Wafi in the System of Rhymes), including the visual, auditory, colour, taste, olfactory, and tactile images. Thus, this pattern played an essential role in constructing the creative poetic text, expressing the poets' experiences, positions, and personal vision and conveying them in an influential way by suggesting various connotations that make the recipient understand what the poet wants to convey through those poetic images.
