Abstract

Description is a kind of expression to introduce the outside world. In literature, descriptive rhetoric is used to present an objective image of human's experience of a stage, person or feeling by means of words. It is an outstanding issue in the contemporary poetry and Nima considered it as an important element in the expression of his viewpoints.
This research aims at explaining the element of description in his Seriveily poems. In this article, different kinds of descriptions, oral techniques and application of such descriptions have been investigated. The results show that the description in this poem is more objective than to be subjective and oral techniques have more applications than poetic techniques. The application of description includes symbolic uses, aesthetic principles and exaggeration. Nima, in his poem, has been able to depict his poetic viewpoints by creating a harmonic prosaic, as well as giving a close observation, description and narration in poetry.
