المخيال القصصي و دور السرد في قصيدة أبي ذؤيب الهذلي

Abstract EN

This research highlights the role of fictional narrative in poetry as narration is not only confined to prose, but it goes far into the realm of poetry.

The research applies the descriptive analytical approach to expose the poetics of narration in poetry and highlight the mixture of fictional narrative and the creative art of poetry.

The research discusses Abi Tho'aib Al- Houthaly's poem known as Al-Aineya, as a model.

This poem handles the stories of a zebra with female asses, an antelope with hounds, and the story of two equal knights.

Each story had an unfortunate tragic ending which signifies the stance of the poet Abi Zo'aib towards death after losing his children.

Hence, one of the findings of this research is that the narrator, even if being a poet, can employ the language of narration in a way that does not oppose the rhythm or rhyme of his poem.

In addition, fictional narrative embodies a large space where the novelist can cope with any genre of literature and his role is to narrate and make up stories since a poet or a novelist uses language on his own way or approach and they can exchange roles as well.
