تجليات الحكاية في شعر عمر بن أبي ربيعة

Abstract

 Ibn Rabeea is defined as the top love poet in Umayyad era. He stopped writing love poetry with reference to woman and his surrounding peers like AL-Ahwas, AL-Arji and Wadhah AL-Yemen surpassed him. So, this might be attributed to the environment where was brought up, luxury and richness led him  not to take into account what others came across because some poets flattered rulers, leaders and pioneers of the era to get money.

Moreover, he gave an in-depth insight into women through this vision, he wrote his stories, it means that he unveiled women untold stories. So, he exposed Hijazi woman thought, her hidden secrets and her dreams. This boldness is attributed to the poet whose name is mentioned above; he disclosed what they hide in their conversations such as their happiness and sadness. Undoubtedly, he came across huge difficulties because his works were against mainstream approach which is based on traditional style in drafting the text. The old-fashioned does not accept the newly born motivated one following tough ordeal. It does not want to believe in it. Therefore, the struggle will be started.

Furthermore, the survival depends on the strength of the new-born. Finally, the poet managed to draw the glances of his own experiences which motivated great poet like Jareer to say "He is still narrating verses even in hallucination"
