Ahmed Matar is known for his own peculiar style, in particular his Lafitat, i.e. ‘Banners’, that has made him a well - known poet in the Arab world filled with anger against their political systems and governments. His poems are characterized by a sarcastic style. Therefore, some like to call him ‘the king of poets’. His poems have studies from different perspectives by a number of researchers. While some researchers, such Ahmed Ghuneim who has dealt with the elements of creation in his poetry and Abulkareem Al - Saeedi who has focused on the poetic narration in his poetry, some others, such as Khalid Jaffal Lafta and Tahsin Hasan Jasim have studied the stylistic aspects of his poetry concentrated and the techniques of the poetic formation in his poetry respectively. However, none of them has spell out the rhythm in his poetry. After having consulted my supervisor, I have come up with this title : THE RHYTHMIC STRUCTURE IN AHMED MATER’S POETRY This study adopts two approaches, viz. historical and descriptive; it is divided into three main chapters preceded by a foreword and an introduction and followed by a conclusion. Chapter one which is titled ‘The Structure of the Prosodic Rhythm’ spells out the poetic meters along with their contexts and the types of rhymes in Ahmed Matar’s poems.Chapter two, for its turn, which is titled ‘The Structure of the Phonic Rhythm’ confines itself to different types of rhyme, such as that of lexical items, lines, texts, rhyme.As for the third chapter titled ‘The Structure of Musical Rhythm’, it focuses on the most important factors that contribute to enriching his poems’ rhythm, such as repetition, foregrounding, back grounding, paronomasia, antithesis, and so forth.The rhythmic structure in Ahmed Mater’s poetry has been studied by means of identifying the most important elements of such a structure and the main factors that influences and enriches the rhythm in Ahmed Mater’s full collocations of poems. Having carefully examined the poems, I have discovered that the Ramal Meter is the most dominant one in his poems, followed by the Rajis Meter, and then the rest of meters.In his poems, the rhyme has played a significant role in enriching the rhythmic structure of his text. The study shows that the poet, Ahmed Matar, banking on his linguistic and stylistic ability, has utilized a great number of stylistic features, such as repetition, foregrounding, back grounding, paronomasia, antithesis, and the like in an attempt to add artistic touches to his poems. To sum up, this study has focused on one of the most famous poets in the Arab world filled with anger against their political systems and governments. I hope that this study could provide the reader with an explanation to the most important elements of the rhythmic structure utilized successfully by the poet.
