Abstract

The poetic experience of the Kuwaiti poet Khalifa Al waqayan was described as a rich experience, because it has collected between two types of Poetic rhythm: the Classical and the modern (free verse). Therefore, a number of researchers who are interested in studying the Kuwait’s Literature paid a special attention to his unique experience.

This study will focus on the free verse, and it will try to determine the most   stylistic features by examining the linguistic techniques that have a significant presence in his poetry. However, the study will not stop at the role of statistics and tracking, but it will try to provide a critical Explanation for his preference to these stylistic options. In addition, it will measure the range of the compatibility between these techniques and the poetic context that contains it; this would also allow us to evaluate his technical ability, and her impact on his own poetic vision.
