The use of the image and the importance of such use in the making of poetry was tackled by many researchers. This study focuses on the employment of the image, as well, in the poetry of the sixteenths and seventeenths where the image manifests its ability to refer to what’s important outside the text.The thesis aims at showing the achievements of the poets in the mentioned decades in terms of the image, its sources and the methods through which the poets form their images. Another aim is to balance between the achievements and works of the two decades in terms of the image and its three dimensions that are mentioned to verify the hypothesis of the difference between the two decades, and consequently examining the accuracy of the predominant view that they are two different decades.Moreover, the modern understanding of the “image” includes its employment as a metaphoric device, or as a group of visual signs artistically displayed on paper. Knowing the importance of the literary device, poets used it heavily, whether sketched with language or designed with lines. To have perfect manifestation of the poets’ interest in this aspect, we focus on the theoretical achievements related to the poetic image of poetry of the two decades.Deciding the identity of poetry of the two decades mentioned is more like finding an identity for the cultural and aesthetic history of that time. Imagery is the essence of poetry which is an art in language different from that written in prose. Thus, studying this device, i.e. imagery, and researching its requirements and function is quite necessary. We adopt a descriptive analysis that takes into account the historical arrangement of the texts samples. While in analyzing the poetic texts (verses) we use the text analysis method where we observe the signs, their relations, and the image formation.The study falls in an introduction and three chapters and a conclusion that summarizes the most important of the results. The introduction sets the definition of a “generation” and the role of a generation. Moreover, Iraqi “generations” are specifically formed by decades, as will be clarified in detail later in the chapter.Chapter One tackles the source of imagery for poets of the two decades, which the researcher considers sufficient to shed light on the nature of imagery. Analyzing the poetry of that time shows important regional and cultural features, and the chapter was ,thus, divided into two sections.Chapter Two deals with formations of the image used intentionally by the poets. It falls into two sections, dealing with the single image and the complex image successively.Chapter Three deals with the significance of the use of image in the two decades of poets analyzed through the context of the poems.This study tries to comprehensively deal with the efforts in the poetic work of the two decades in an important area of research represented by the decade of formation; the artistic and technical decade rather than the historical one. It handles the poets who emerged in the early sixteenth and seventeenths. Those poets whose longing for individuality prompted them to form, through experimentation, a new vision which was partially or completely different from that of those who preceded them.The sample of the study includes poets from the two decades. The poets of the sixteenths are Fadhil Al - Azawi, Sami Mehdi, Hasab Al - Sheik Jaafar, Fawzi Kareem, Hameed Saeed, and Amal Al - Zahawi. While the poets of the seventeenths are Khazel Al - Majidee, Zahir Al - Jizani, Adeeb Kamal al - Din, Kadhim Jihad, Kamal Sabti, Hashim Shafik, Bushrah Al - Bustani, and Sajida Hameed.This study sets about new area of researching, it deals with the early formation of the two decades, identifying the beginning of each decade and paving the way for the researchers to take interest in the comparative studies to manifest the reality of the difference between all the poetic decades. Moreover, the study revises the misconception that a (decade) refers to a literary generation in only ten years. The study shows that a (decade) represents a stage of formation of a new literary generation rather than an end of one. The study emphasizes that the realization of literary generation does not necessarily occur at the end of one. The concept of a poetic work can develop continually through the historical ages and the next decades. Hence, the element of time and its role is intentionally employed in this study as it has a great influence on motivating the poetic development.Though I do my best in handling the topic, perfection is impossible, and I hope that I was able to precisely cover the whole topic and give answers for the main questions of the study and its hypotheses.The researcher would like to thank his supervisor Prof. Abdul Adheem Raheef Alsultani for his countless efforts to help and supervise. I can not find the words of thanking that suit his esteemed status. He was so generous in lending the researcher the chance to discuss and defend his point of view when he was ready to do. May God give him success to be a master, a father, and a prosperous figure in the science of the Arabic Language. I hope him the long and healthy life. His great efforts are the reason the research came out as it is today.
