Return to Issue Details Poetics is an important feature of poetry; poetry is an essential part of poetry. Because the ability to create and depict art lies in the accuracy of the phrase and the goodness of the style, the careful reader is the one who seeks to uncover the secrets of the text that is full of captivating meanings that attract the recipient, and from this standpoint the symbol is considered a cultural connotation as it carries the features that help the interaction between the text and the recipient, so the symbol has received the attention of critics and writers, ancient and modern, as it makes the text a suggestive element rich in linguistic connotations, and the symbol employs cultural, religious and heritage connotations in literary texts, which intensifies the linguistic connotations of the text, and the symbol has the ability to store the suggestive energies of the vocabulary, as every word, sign or color symbolizes a multiple connotation of the vocabulary that is implicit behind the text and which refers to these connotations indirectly, as the symbol links the past and the present; because the word is not considered a symbol if time has not passed on it and the linguistic group knows it as indicating a specific thing, and through this the link is between the past and the present, and the symbol has two connotations: the verbal connotation from which the word descends, and the connotation of the commonly known term This is what is meant, and through reviewing the book of dancers and singers, we found that the book contains many texts that showed the symbols that the Arabs used in the past to indicate different things, and the beauty of the symbol and its enjoyment lies in the fact that if it is placed in a position different from what it was originally placed for, which causes astonishment and excitement in the mind of the recipient, and here the symbol has been employed successfully with enjoyment and benefit. The adoption of the symbol increases the charging of meanings with significance, and ignites the mind of the recipient with meanings that increase the employment of words in their used positions, which makes them play an important role in giving the text a multiplicity of readings that activate the mind of the recipient, so the employment of symbols is to express opinions directed to opinions contrary to what they were used for; because the symbol is one of the prominent features in texts that decorate the text and increase its aesthetic elements, it is an alternative to clear language to a kind of language of suggestion and ambiguity.
