The researchers, while dividing revolution poem into three consecutive periods (from 1978 to 2005), the time metaphor in Gheisar Aminpour and Seyed Hasan Hosseini poems has been explained and analyzed and the conceptualization method in time can express their worldview and special thought in this three periods. As in each period, regarding various political, social and cultural streams, these worldviews and thoughts have been changed. The results of studies reveal that the poets in the first period (from 1978 to 1989) are very hopeful and idealistic about the future, and have a happy and victorious spirit. In the second period (from 1989 to1997) they look at their hopes and ideals with a little skepticism and their happy spirit was diminished. . In the third period (from 1997 to 2005) despair and frustration from ideals were replaced instead of all hopes and dreams, and poets in this time speak about past and future with sorrow.
