Abstract

One of the integral and inseparable elements of poetry is its music, which manifests in various forms. This musicality can stem from poetic meters, rhymes, word coordination, and the unique resonance of each letter juxtaposed with others. Taisir Saboul (1939 - 1973), a contemporary Jordanian poet, employed diverse techniques in her poems to craft music. This article aims to analytically explore the poet's distinctive style in selecting poetic meters and music by analyzing the frequency of these artistic techniques in her works. The findings reveal that Taisir tailored her meters based on the poem's subject and theme, captivating audiences through unconventional methods like assurance, rotation, and blending modern with classical poetry. Simultaneously, she employed norm-defying techniques such as implication and merging modern with classical poetry to engage readers. Rhyme repetition emerges as a prevalent form of inner musicality in Taisir's poems. This repetition not only underscores words but also bolsters their meanings. Taisir also focused on visual musicality through stair-like and vertical poetic line structures to accentuate specific stanzas against others and highlight individual words or stanzas effectively
