Arabic poetry is one of the most prominent cultural manifestations that has flourished throughout the ages, as imagination occupied a prominent place among the faculties of poetic creativity. It is a unique human force that enables us to discover unlimited worlds within our minds. It has the ability to create images, ideas, and perceptions that go beyond the limits of realism. It represents the diversity of... Creativity and the human ability to imagine reality and achieve what does not exist in reality. Through imagination, we are able to monitor the cultural, technological and artistic development of man, meaning that man can be creative and create ideas and images ranging from simplicity to complexity, and from frank realism to wild imagination.
