The study seeks to highlight (brevity) in Youssef Al-Sayegh’s poetry as a distinctive feature of his poetry, especially in his collection (of the Black Nightingale’s poems), which adopted the telegraphic
form based on shorthand and cursive language as an embodiment of the creator’s vision. Because it is more capable of obeying the poet’s thoughts, and more suitable for his intense feelings. This
collection is the product of an emotional moment that the poet experienced, which prompted him to choose economy and brevity as a means of expression, and for this reason he set out to form a
concentrated poetic scene that relied on deceptive qualitative pressure. Hence, his texts were a single, independent and carefully woven mass, betting on suggesting meanings and gathering and condensing words. Away from redundancy and detail, in addition to its adoption of the pictorial irony that is based on the sudden conclusion that breaks the horizon of its recipient, in an effort to create a kind of interaction and anticipation between the text and its recipient.
