This research deals with "Water in the Poetry of Abi Tammam", discussing three aspects; 1.

Water Symbolism in Abi Tammam’s Poetry: Abu Tammam formed a connective outlook with the theme of water.

He found it soothing and gratifying; sentiments he passed on to recipients of his poetry.

Sometimes, however, water has pejorative connotations, depicted as a source of harm and evil.

2.

Terms and adjectives associated with water: Such terms include, lightning, and clouds, nostalgia and luxury water.

The poet psychologically differentiates between various synonyms for water in the textual contexts in which water appears.

3.

The uses of water as seen by the poet: Abu Tammam variously employs water as a symbol of bounty and plenitude; as a metaphor for those he praises for their generosity and munificence; as a metaphor for triumph and domination; and as a source of ornamentation, decorating the landscape with flowers and vegetation.
