Abstract
Repetition has been a well-known art in Arabic poetry since ancient times, as great poets have used it in their creations to express their thoughts and experiences. The phenomenon of repetition is one of the most fascinating phenomena in the poems of Lebanese poet Joseph Harb. Repetition in his poetry possesses artistic beauty and melodic rhythm, contributing to the creation of musical scenes that encourage the reader to enjoy and savor the text. Joseph Harb utilized the phenomenon of repetition in its various forms: letters, words, expressions, statements, sounds, and phrases.
In this research, using a descriptive-analytical approach, we aim to explore the images and expressive and artistic energies underlying this striking stylistic phenomenon in his poetry collection "One Pen in Three Fingers," published in 2013.
We reached conclusions related to the diversity of repetition in Joseph and Henmeh's works. These repetitive patterns reveal the depth of the poet's thought and conscience, as repetition reflects the poet's desire to emphasize the recurring meaning.
