Abstract Structural analysis of the image in Khaju Kermani's lyric poems

 Image is one of the most important pillars of art production in literature. The analysis of the poet"s imagery leads to the recognition of his artistic style and intellectual system. In this research, an attempt has been made to study the imaging structure of Khaju Kermani; In this regard, studies have been done by looking at the vertical and horizontal axis in the lyric poems of Khaju Kermani. In analyzing the frequency and explaining the frequency of different types of images, the details of the poet"s artistic and intellectual style, which has led to a coherent whole of the image in the vertical and horizontal axis of the images, are discussed.

 This research was conducted by descriptive-analytical method.

 The image in Khaju Kermani"s divan is a strong element for expressing various themes, especially romantic and mystical themes. Most of the tools used by the poet to illustrate in sonnets are expressive industries such as simile, metaphor and irony, and novel industries such as allusion, contradiction, paradox, and ambiguity, and simile is at the top of them. The high frequency of application of this tool in illustration is due to the possibility of creating images and visualization of multiple dimensions of romantic and mystical concepts by these industries.

 In the horizontal axis of images, more objective examples have been used and sometimes images have been made and processed using abstract concepts. Khajavi Kermani is one of the few Iraqi style poets whose vertical axis of poetry is very strong. In some of Khaju"s lyric poems, the poet"s emotional attachment and thought cause a return and re-illustration of an object, word or motif. Sometimes in his poetry we encounter a conflict of images, which of course has not caused the weight of meaning. This has happened both in the horizontal and vertical axis and has doubled the rhetorical burden of the poem.
