Appreciating their effectiveness, Shafiei Kadkani's poems are considered as traditional and contemporary poems.

He was influenced by Akhavan's conscious and language so much that his thoughts and method of explanation can be found identical.

Therefore, mentioning the poetic evidence, this paper tries to analyze and investigate the way Shafiei Kadkani has been influenced and inspired by Akhavan’s poetic language and thought.
