Abstract

Examining Mahmoud Ghoneim's poetry in his collection (A Cry in a Valley) is of great importance. Because this poet is one of the glorious poets who maintain the vertical system in the Arabic poem, and the mainstay of the traditional poem is based on meter and rhyme. the semantics of words through the sounds that the poet selects; to express specific purposes.
And had it not been for the rhyme, we would have lost an aspect of the beauty of poetic music, as it is like the bells that signal the end of a certain meaning or idea, and the resonance of the rhyme after each verse makes you feel that you are still walking in the same consistent musical melody. The unity of meaning ... and the importance of a good rhyme is that it increases the control of the meaning, defines it completely, and tightens the verse closely with the general entity of the poem, and if it were not for it, it would have been loosened and disjointed.” In this research, I reached the impact of the sounds of rhymes in directing the significance of the poetic texts of Mahmoud Ghoneim.
