A Study of Selected Adolescent’s Poems in the Nineties Based on Tripartite Imagery

Imagery is an important feature of adolescent’s poetry. Attractive imagery and the success of the poet in presenting the poetic images is dependent on the extent of the use of image-making illustrative elements in each poem. The purpose of this article is to examine the three types of image (descriptive, imaginative-realist and imaginative-dynamic) in selected adolescent’s poetry of the 90s. The frequency of each image has been extracted and analyzed in the poems of 20 poets of adolescent’s poetry (10 male poets and 10 female poets). The studied works are in the form of a collection of adolescent’s poetry today and are published by the Children and Adolescents Development Center. The research method is content-analysis and the data collection method is in the form of library documents. The results showed that descriptive images had the highest frequency and application. The reason for the great use of descriptive images is the poets' desire for nature and the use of natural elements for illustration. Imaginative-dynamic images, which play an important role in the animation and dynamics of poetic images, had a lower frequency.
