The Aqua-Nature in the Poetry of Al-Sinobary

Abstract

The study tackled the aspect of “water and nature” in the poems of Abu Baker Al-Sinobary, the Abbasid poet who lived in the Antaki-Aleppo environment. This environment was known to be one of the beautiful, charming and outstanding sceneries. This can be noticed while reading the poetry which described nature, especially the aqua-nature. In his poems he described rain and everything related to it like clouds, lightning and thunder.Furthermore, he was one of the first poets who described snow and the beauty of nature when it is covered with it, a long with the rivers and the lakes. The study required presenting a theoretical framework before discussion. This was accomplished through discussing the reasons that made the poet deal with nature. The study investigated the practical side, as well, i.e. the images and technicalities used by the poet.
