The Function of Color and its Symbolic Implications in Abdul Rahim Mahmud's Poetry

Color is considered as one of the most beautiful elements of nature. At times, we see the reflection of this element abundantly in the poetry of poets and in new forms. They apply color as the manifestation of their poetic structure to express their inner feelings. Sometimes, depending on their style and poetic themes, they also add new meanings to this phenomenon that demonstrates their tendencies. From among the poets who have decorated their odes with color is Palestine’s poetry of sustainability Abdul Rahim Mahmoud. He has chosen this element as a way of expressing his inner feelings and emotions in relation to the incidents occurring in his homeland.
In this research, we aim to study the color implications of Abdolrahim Mahmud in a descriptive-analytical method based on the statistical method and explain the effect of colors on expressing the poet’s statements and his revolutionary and epic emotions. The findings show that the poet directly and indirectly uses the element color to escape the violence of the language and the words in his poems of sustainability and to accompany the reader’s emotions and feelings through a survey in the colorful world of nature. Thus he reveals the painful and unfortunate events that have happened in his homeland. He also uses the white color more than other colors, which despite the painful events present a sign of the movement and beside that the purity and the spirit of hope and promise of victory that has been implicated in the poet’s essence.
