White Rhythm in Sadi Yousof's Poem

Songs in contemporary poems do not merely contain prosodic rhythmics. In today odes, the singers as well as composers partake in creating the work. Hence, the length of the verses, the style of writing, and the arrangement of words play an important role in recreation of the odes by the singer(s). This special method in writing odes creates a particular rhythm. This rhythm create tension in the reader’s eye and then in his soul in order to make the reader aware of poet’s thoughts and tensions. Poet Saadi Youssef is a pioneer in the creation of white rhythm and the manifestation of the rhythm is eye-catching in his poems. This internal rhythm in poems is called white rhythm. In this paper, the authors hypothesized that Saadi Youssef as an Arabic poet is a pioneer in the creation of the white rhythm. The research is to investigate some aspects of this rhythm such as dispersion of words, blanks, segmentations, and geometric representations in the poems of this poet through content analysis theoretically.
