Abstract

There is no doubt that colors are important factors in creating arts including poetry. The poets use them because of their visual beauties to show their hidden values. Sometimes they go further – beyond the external features – ad use colors as symbols to express their own meaning.
Moreover, modern poet’s deep insight and vision are the main causes to change the colorful portrait to a bright wonderful one.
Among all colors, green has been the most attractive one to modern Arab poet, Abd al Mo’ti Hijazi, for it is the dominant color of village, the poet’s real beloved.
This paper deals with the position of green color in Hijazi’s poetic images and its symbolic meanings and aesthetic aspects.
The green is the most prominent color in Hijazi’s poetry which proves his interest in this color which is the symbol of his beloved countryside as well as the symbol of his political ideas.

Key words: Abd al – Mo’ti Hijazi, poetry, symbol, aesthetics, green color, village.
