Artistic Formation in A Group Why Did You Leave the Horse Alone by Mahmoud Darwish

Abstract

The elements of artistic formation in the poetic text are many, and at the forefront of them are the elements of imagery and rhythm, as they work on the internal and external levels; to achieve the artistic aesthetics that contemporary poets are interested in, and they worked to build and generate it with modern methods that stem from within the text and from the modern vision of the elements of poetic art, so this was manifested through the graphic imagery structures with their different patterns, as well as at the level of rhythm that was distributed on the levels inside and outside the text. The rhythmic phenomena were manifested in his poetry through the apparent form, which was represented in the elements of weight and soft rhyme, playing an important role at the level of rhythm and meaning at the same time. The internal rhythm emerged in Darwish's poetry that we have in our hands through various phenomena, including sounds and repetition. The sound structure was an artistic component closely related to the meaning, as well as the various repetitive structures that supported and strengthened the meanings. This was evident on two levels: the first is the repetition of the semantic part; whether by repeating a single sound, a word, or a sentence, or rhetorical repetition such as antithesis, repetition, and other repetitive rhetorical arts.
