Employment of Symbols for Insects inExamples from Modern Iraqi Poetry From the Pioneer's Perio till 2000

Abstract

This study (Insects as a Symbol) in modern Iraqi poetry aims to show both technical and aesthetic effect in the selected texts, with explaining the semantic effect in employing the semantic expressions of the word insect in a poetic context. This leads to poets being influenced by traditions, beliefs, and traditions in the recurrent view of the word insect. I will say then that: "This is the reason which personified the real view towards these insects either being loved or hated".
