Abstract :
This study explores innovative and ground-breaking concepts in Sa’eb Tabrizi’s (1992) poetry, with a specific focus on the natural element of "dew." Sa’eb's poetry deviates from literary traditions through discordance, categorized as parody, contradiction, and inversion. The research addresses the question of how Sa’eb employs "Shanam" (dew) in his poetry, analyzing its imagery. The novelty lies in examining both literary characteristics and the original illustrations of Sa’eb's opposition. Employing a qualitative approach, the research identifies discordance levels, selects "dew" as a natural element of interest, and categorizes discordance types. The analysis of Sa’eb's verses reveals diverse metaphorical associations of dew, including likening it to mercury, eyes, evil eyes, tears, and water. This study’s findings contribute to understanding Sa’eb's creative expressions and his departure from literary traditions, shedding light on the significance of natural elements in his poetic discourse.This study’s findings contribute to understanding Sa’eb's creative expressions and his departure from literary traditions, shedding light on the significance of natural elements in his poetic discourse.
