Abstract :

Interest in nature and using natural elements in poems do not limit to special periods of life and humans in (modern and classical) areas of poetry. Using imagination and rhetorical and literary devices, poets attempt to address their desired concepts through nature, The naturalism of poets is divides into three categories: imitative, descriptive, and interpretative and synthetic. The naturalism approach is in classical poetry significantly different modern from poetry. In Nima Yooshij’s poems, the manifestation of nature was accompanied with different characteristics, including breaking with tradition, new language, special worldview, staying away from the unified order of poets, and presence of native and local elements. One of the poets who addressed the nature and natural elements through symbolism using Nima Yooshij’s view and modern language in the contemporary area is Shafiei Kadkani (M. Sereshk). In analyzing poems, as we move from early books of the poet toward his newer ones, we face more enriched language and conceptual developments. Studies showed that the poet used 18 natural elements more than others. He used terms and compounds, including rain, flower, spring, garden, cloud and wind with the highest frequency for expressing his individual, social, political, cultural and human thoughts relating to his environment and period.
